Police Seek Good Samaritan Who Saved Woman’s Life

Canadian police are asking for help to identify a Good Samaritan who saved the life of an elderly woman suffering from dementia.

The 81 year-old woman became lost in freezing, snowy weather after wandering away from her daughter’s car in Calgary, Alberta. The senior was not dressed for Canada’s harsh winter weather. Police feared she would die unless found quickly.

An ugent hunt was launched, with Calgary Police scrambling a helicopter equipped with a loudspeaker to alert anyone in the area about the missing woman.

A local man who heard the announcement came outside to see what was going on and spotted the woman lying in a snow bank.He alerted emergency personnel and directed them to the woman, who was in the early stages of hypothermia.She was examined by medical crews and then safely reunited with her family.

The Good Samaritan, however, left before officers could identify him and properly thank him for his help.

If you know this man, Calgary police ask that you call District 5 police office at (+1) 403-567-6500.
