Tony Gonzalez Saves A Life
July 8, 2008 – 5:44 am
Despite being a 9-time Pro-Bowl selection and setting NFL records for receiving, the best move of Kansas City Chiefs Tight End Tony Gonzalez came last week when he saved a man’s life with the Heimlich Manuver.
Gonzalez was dining with his family when he heard a woman at the table next to him screaming “he can’t breathe!” With nobody else in the restaurant moving to help, Tony jumped up and performed the Heimlich; doslodging a piece of meat from the throat of the victim, 40 year-old Ken Hunter. It wasn’t until after Hunter returned from the bathroom to thank Gonzalez that he realized who he was. Hunter, a lifelong San Diego Chargers fan now says his allegiance lies with Gonzalez and the Chiefs; he says he thinks his friends will understand.
