A Good Samaritan’s Story
“I was just strolling to pick up a coffee, and on my way up to the parking level, I realized something was off. He was just lying there like a statue of joy,” said the individual who found him. “I called the police and the paramedics came fast.” Not quite the usual weekend drama.
