Facebook Instantly Links Family to Woman Who Saved Man’s Life at Alabama Basketball Game

The family of a man who suffered a heart attack during the Alabama game in Coleman Coliseum Saturday will soon be able to thank a woman who may have saved his life.

In a fast-spreading post to Facebook, a user named Haley Posey said her uncle had a "massive, widowmaker" heart attack during the Tide's loss to the Tennessee Volunteers Saturday.

A woman there performed CPR until the man could be transported out of the Coliseum and taken to DCH Regional Medical Center, where he has reportedly stabilized.

Thanks to a major signal boost from ABC 33/40 meteorologist and Alabama Icon James Spann, the lifesaver was found in minutes.

Radiologist Lesley Geer took to the comment section to say it was her and her husband who started the lifesaving measures on Posey's uncle, and relatives immediately began pouring in to thank her for saving their uncle Tony.

A hearty Roll Tide to the Geers for their quick thinking, and to Spann and the rare positive side of social media for starting this week off with such a positive story.
