Missouri Teen ‘Miracle Recovery’ After Underwater For 15 Minutes (VIDEO)

It was indeed a miracle recovery for the Missouri teen who fell into the ice and was underwater for 15 minutes.

A 14-year-old Missouri boy, John Smith, fell through an icy lake with two other friends. One of the teens was able to swim back to shore, and another clung to the ice. John, however, was submerged for more than 15 minutes before paramedics arrived.

First responders conducted CPR for 15 minutes before doctors at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital continued for another 27 minutes, NBC affiliate KSDK reported. After John didn’t have a heartbeat for 45 minutes, doctors said they called his mom, Joyce, so she could say goodbye.
