WATCH: Teen golf course worker saves man’s life with CPR he learned in school
When a man collapsed at the golf course where he worked, Perry High School sophomore Gabe Castro didn’t hesitate—he took action.
With no AED nearby, Gabe performed life-saving CPR for 12 straight minutes, keeping the man alive until help arrived.
The man survived and is now recovering, grateful for the 16-year-old who went way beyond his job responsibilities that day.
He learned the life-saving skills just months earlier in a sports medicine class. After acing the real-life test, he’s being hailed as a hero, but Gabe insists he was simply doing what anyone should in a similar situation.
ABC15’s Cameron Polom met Gabe at the golf course where it all happened and stepped inside his classroom to see firsthand how his training turned into a real-life rescue. See the uplifting story in the video player above.
