Austen and his behavioral therapist, Jason Piquette, were swimming in a pool when Piquette attempted to see how long he could hold his breath underwater.
Austen MacMillan, a 12-year-old Florida boy who sprung into action last week when he noticed a man in danger of drowning, said he learned lifesaving CPR from watching the hit series “Stranger Things.”
“It was like six to five minutes he was under the water and I was like, 'That's way too long. He can not do that,'” said Austen.A surveillance camera focused on the pool shows Austen recognizing something is wrong, swimming to Piquette and hoisting him to safety in the shallow end of the pool, and dashing out of the water to call for help.
A Ring camera showed Austen sprinting outside the home where the incident took place while screaming for help.“I just saw it from a TV show – ‘Stranger Things,’” said Austen."After I gave him CPR, he woke up a few minutes later."“When I first got the call from my husband, I almost felt like I couldn't speak. My whole body, like, locked up,” said Christina MacMillan, Austen’s mom.
