Family of Teen Cardiac Arrest Survivor from Vandercook Lake Hopes to Help Others
By Tarryl Q. Jackson, Jackson News
As Emilie Bioty's boyfriend drove her to her Vandercook Lake home in August, she collapsed in the front passenger seat.
Boyfriend Dalton Smaga made it into her driveway and ran into the house to alert Bioty's parents, Alecia and Tom Bioty. They performed CPR until paramedics arrived.
"They didn't think she was going to make it," Tom Bioty said. "We thought we had lost our baby."
The 17-year-old survived, but she was an exception. She suffered from cardiac arrest, which kills more than 90 percent of its victims.
