Northern Ont. brothers being hailed as heroes for saving life of toddler
CTV
What started as a trip into Sudbury to see a movie turned into two brothers from Manitoulin Island being hailed as heroes for saving the life of a two-year-old at a restaurant along the way.
It's not every day you hear the term 'hero' thrown around, but employees at an Espanola restaurant say two brothers earned the title after saving the life of a two-year-old boy Wednesday night.
"We came in for a nice family dinner, got our appetizers and then my son started eating some bread and shoved his mouth a little too full," said Brittany Ackworth, who also works at the Cortina Restaurant.
Ackworth's son, Jameson, had started to gag and he suddenly started turning blue.
"I started smacking him on the back. One of the servers here, Monique, started giving him the Heimlich. His father picked him up and was trying and then, Talon came out of nowhere," she told CTV News in an interview.
"We didn't see anyone else in the restaurant and (he) said he had medical training and we said 'here, take him.'"
Talon and Mskwoka McGregor stopped at the restaurant for a bite to eat.
