The hero is said to be skirtless, just like an amazing man who saved a little boy from drowning in the pool.

From Lawrence to Kansas, Tom Westerhouse acted to save the life of four-year-old Xavier, performing CPR for nearly three minutes.

The tribe’s son, 12-year-old Maddox, reported that his father, Xavier, had fallen into the pool after playing with him. And even though he hadn’t done CPR for 15 years, Tom could still act at the right time.

His father recklessly jumped the fence like a superhero and fell into the water to save Xavier’s life.

An exciting video filmed on May 18 shows Tom performing CPR on Xavier in just 2 minutes and 41 seconds.

Xavier’s mother, Alex Rhein, said she was thankful her son was in the crowd to warn Tom.

Alexis went to the bathroom for a short break and picked up her four-month-old daughter, but when she returned, Xavier was nowhere to be found.

When that happened, he said, “I was playing in the living room with a TV and it wasn’t there, but the door was open so I went into the living room.”

During the meeting, authorities released surveillance video showing 4-year-old Xavier Rigne running and then jumping into an empty swimming pool.  When kids fight underwater, some kids gather around the pool fence.  According to authorities, 12-year-old Maddox Westerhouse warned his father Tom Westerhouse when he saw a boy swimming in the pool.  ??  As if I left?  And did you run away?  Maddox said.

“My friend was yelling, ‘Go help.’ “I just went,” “Oh no,” Maddox added.

This was followed by a moment of sheer misery as Alexis noticed the siren and ambulance approaching the building complex.

“I couldn’t see anyone, but I could see the medical staff and firefighters behind the building, so I chased after them and pulled Xavier out of the pool,” the mother said angrily.

But I had never seen him move, so I didn’t know he was okay at the time.

“I don’t know what to do [Maddox] He wouldn’t have been in the pool and wouldn’t have seen it. [Xavier]..

Tom remembered the Savior moment and said, “When he started coughing up water…it turned out to be a good sign.”

On Wednesday, May 18, 2022, we responded to a drowning call at a local apartment complex with the Lawrence Douglas County Fire Department.
