Woman filmed attempting to revive overdosed boyfriend
WARNING, GRAPHIC CONTENT: A shocking video has emerged of a woman performing CPR on her boyfriend after he suffers a drug overdose in the US.
The seven-minute long video, which has emerged on Facebook, shows two people passed out in a parked car in Dorchester, Massachusetts.
The woman, asleep at the steering wheel, has a needle in her lap.
One of the men filming taps on the window repeatedly to wake her up.
“Wake up! Y’all got to go,” one of the men yells.
She wakes up, but the man in the passenger seat doesn’t.
“Is he alright?” one of the men asks.
“I don’t know,” she responds before shaking the man, trying to wake him up.
The men tell the woman she still has a needle on her lap.
She puts it away and keeps trying to wake the man, who she calls Dan, but nothing seems to work.
“F***, I have Narcan in my trunk,” she says.
The woman then quickly runs to her boot to grab the drug which treats narcotic overdoes in emergency situations.
The men ask if Dan has a pulse and she says she isn’t sure as she gives him medicine.
“Yo, Dan! Dan!” she continues to yell, trying to get his attention.
All her attempts fail though as Dan remains unconscious.
She sits on his lap, squeezes his nostrils shut and begins performing CPR.
“I know how to do this,” she says.
Luckily a police officer arrives.
“Wake up,” he tells Dan.
“He’s starting to breathe, he’s starting to come out of it,” she tells the officer.
“He doesn’t normally do this sort of stuff.”
The officer then turns the car’s ignition and flicks the air-conditioning on.
“Throw some of that water on him,” one of the men says.
Dan begins to move and wakes up before vomiting moments later.
The video has been viewed more than 13 million times.
It’s not clear if the couple were arrested or face criminal charges.
