Fayetteville, GA, US
Atlanta resident Vince Vellucci hosted a graduation party yesterday afternoon. An estimated 50-60 guests, many of them children, flocked to his pool to escape the heat of the day. With the party in full swing, Vellucci's 6 year-old grandson Haden Stusak noticed what looked like a shadow in the deep end . Diving in to investigate, Haden discovered his friend, Josiah Buddha, 5, unconscious at the bottom.
"I went right to him and got him," says Haden, "I yelled, 'Help, he drowned,' and laid him on the steps."
Vellucci and two of the party's guests started CPR immediately, while someone called an ambulance. After staying the night at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta for observation, Josiah has made a full recovery. Says his mother, Judith, "No water in his lungs, no brain damage. . . He's back in school."
