Chesterfield Township Cop Brings Man Back to Life
The 55-year-old man was initially found lifeless from an apparent heart attack, Chesterfield Township police said.
A Chesterfield Township police officer's efforts saved a 55-year-old man from what appeared to be a fatal heart attack, police said Wednesday.
Officer Michael Ogden responded to Advance Boring & Tool, 26950 23 Mile, around 8:30 p.m. Monday. When he arrived, the man was on the ground and other workers were administering C.P.R., according to Detective Sgt. Deron Myers.
"The man appeared lifeless, was not breathing, and was purple in color to the face," Myers stated in a news release. "Officer Ogden attempted to locate a pulse on the man and there was none."
Ogden then used his department-issued Automated External Defibrillator, also known as A.E.D., to administer an electric shock. C.P.R. was then continued momentarily until the unidentified man experienced shallow breaths and regained a pulse, police said.
The man was then taken to McLaren Macomb Hospital in Mount Clemens and was expected to be moved out of the intensive care unit Wednesday, Myers said.

Actually the co-workers should be thanked and congratulated for administering CPR until the AED arrived. Fantastic team work from Advance Boring and Drill AND Officer Ogden. Everyone involved did a wonderful job.

Your right Donna. His coworkers deserve just as many thanks as officer Ogden. They administered CPR most likely preventing any form of lack of oxygen causing brain damage or that man's demise. Kudos to them as well.
