VIDEO: On Tuesday, a well-known R&B singer thanked the people who saved his life. Peabo Bryson had a heart attack April 27.
He had no pulse and was not breathing. Only 13% of victims found in this condition survive the ordeal. Bryson did and made it his priority to visit the local fire station to hug and thank those who helped save him.
“Here I am, thanks to you guys,” Bryson declared inside the bay of Cobb County Fire Station 3 in Marietta on Terrell Mill Road.
“With 911, a lot of times, we don’t get to know the outcome,” explained Chris Hayes, the 911 operator who helped the Brysons. This case would be different. The Grammy- and Oscar-winning musician survived due to the quick action and calmness of Hayes, who was on the line with Bryson’s wife, Tanya Boniface Bryson.
