An 11-year-old Kentucky boy is being hailed as a hero after fearlessly diving into a pool to rescue a drowning man when no one else would.
Avory Woolery sprang into action after spotting the unidentified man submerged at a Lexington apartment complex pool around 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 1, according to local news outlet WKYT.
“I was like, somebody’s gotta do something. No one was doing anything, so I put on my goggles. I went underwater. I grabbed him up,” Woolery told the outlet.
The boy said he noticed the man “unconscious under the water, almost shaking” and that’s when his “adrenaline kicked in.”
“There was no way that I was going to let another man di£ today. He’s a human being. He should be treated as such,” Woolery said.
Someone else at the pool helped
