AREA ALONE AND ENDED UP IN THAT
LAKE.
DON MARSHALL HAD JUST GOTTEN
HOME FROM HIS SHIFT WITH MIAMI-
DADE FIRE AND RESCUE WHEN HE
HEARD HIS NEIGHBOR SOUNDING
FRANKLYÃFRANTIC.
HE LOOKED AT HIS WINDOW AND SAW
AN IMAGE HE WILL NEVER FORGET.
A TWO-YEAR-OLD BOY ALMOST
ENTIRELY SUBMERGED IN THE LAKE
BEHIND HIS HOME.
I SAW HE WAS 15 OR 20 FEET
OUT IN THE WATER.
HE RECOGNIZED THE FACE OF
THE TODDLER STRUGGLING TO STAY
ABOVE WATER.
THE KID IS MY GODSON.
I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT.
REPORTER: THANKFULLY HIS
GRANDMOTHER NOTICED HE WAS
MISSING AND RUSHED TO RESCUE
HAND.
HE WAS CONSCIOUS AND ALERT
COUGHING UP WATER.
HE CHECKED HIS VITALS AND
CHECKED HIS LUNGS.
HE VOMITED SO THERE WAS
EVIDENCE TO CALL 911 TO GET HIM
EVALUATED.

HE HOPES THIS WILL ACT AS A
REMINDER TO ANYONE CARING FOR
YOUNG KIDS.

HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT AND NO
ONE IS FACING CHARGES.
