Man Experiencing Cardiac Arrest On South OC Beach Gets Saved By Good Samaritans, Lifeguard

DANA POINT, CA — An Orange County man is grateful to be alive after a couple of good samaritans and a lifeguard helped to save his life when he went into cardiac arrest at a Dana Point beach on Sept. 6, Fox 11 reported.

Doctors told Fox 11 that Bryan Parkinson's chances of survival were less than 1 percent — but with the help of the surrounding community, he made it through the crisis and is now able to walk.

According to the report, Parkinson fell into distress and was immediately aided by two men — a doctor from UC Irvine Medical Center, and a nurse anesthetist who were enjoying their day at the beach.

Several other good samaritans, including a lifeguard, aided Parkinson and his family during the crisis.
