BOSTON — A heroic off-duty firefighter who helped rescue a young boy after finding him in a pool of his own blood has revealed how he gave Martin Richard two breaths of CPR before covering the eight-year-old victim’s lifeless body.
After Matt Patterson and brave stranger, Michael Chase, saved the life of the unidentified boy whose leg had been blown off by running him a block and a half to waiting ambulances, the 30-year-old sprinted back to the bomb site to help more victims.
There he came across little Martin, one of three people who were killed in the twin bombings at Monday’s Boston Marathon.
