Sammy Berko, an otherwise healthy 16-year-old, went into cardiac arrest during what was supposed to be a fun day spent at the gymnasium.
A Texas teenager who died at the top of a rock climbing wall came back to life two hours after he went into cardiac arrest in what doctors have called a “literal miracle.”
The grieving parents — who were still mourning the loss of Sammy’s older brother Frankie from three years earlier — were given a private moment to say goodbye to their second son. “I don’t remember anything about the day it happened. The last thing I remember is the night before we had to sign waivers online , and then I woke up … Then I remember my dad telling me, ‘This is what happened and you better remember this time, because he said it so many times,'” Sammy told the outlet.
Frankie, who died when he was 16, had been suffering dramatic seizures that led to multiple traumatic brain injuries — including one that caused him to fall 10 feet from a diving board to the ground below, landing on his head.The boy’s father Craig, a former paramedic, tried to give Frankie CPR during his last seizure, but the teenager couldn’t be revived.
