Off-duty Mass. police officer saves toddler after near-drowning in NH
An off-duty Massachusetts police officer resuscitated a 2-year-old girl while vacationing with his family in New Hampshire over the weekend after the toddler nearly drowned in a lake.
Chelmsford Police Officer Matthew Sech was at Iona Lake in Albany, New Hampshire, around 11 a.m. on Friday when he heard screams coming from the shoreline, according to a press release from Chelmsford police. A woman had just pulled her child from the water, and the girl was unresponsive.
Sech quickly delivered back blows to the toddler to expel water from her lungs, police said. The girl regained consciousness but was still lethargic.
