After a Connecticut man passed away while trying to clear his roof of snow, brave and helpful first responders finished the job for his family.
According to CBS6, first responders in Manchester, Connecticut, received a call that Miroslaw Dobrowski, a 57-year-old resident attempting to shovel snow from his roof, was having a heart attack. The responders arrived at the scene to find the man unconscious, still on the roof. They immediately started doing CPR on the roof in attempts to save Dobrowski's life. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, they were not able to save him and he perished at the hospital, reported the source.
After witnessing the heartbreaking scene, the first responders knew they wanted to do something to help Dobrowski's family. The Hartford Courant reported that police officers Bernie Hallums, Adam Desso and Tomacz Kaczerski, along with local firefighters and medics, returned to the home later that day and finished shoveling off the roof.
"He would be very appreciative that someone was looking out for his family. We are all grateful to them," Teresa Dobrowski, Miroslaw's wife, told the Hartford Courant.
