Massachusetts State Police officer saves life of man that collapses at gas station

“Early yesterday morning, Trooper Andrew Zeller, assigned to the State Police Crime Scene Services Section, had just returned from working on a homicide investigation in Dover and secured some evidence at the Medical Examiner’s Office on Albany Street.

Trooper Zeller then stopped to get gas at the J&T Mobil Station at 273 East Berkley Street in Boston. While he was paying for his fuel, a man walked into the gas station and collapsed in front of him. Trooper Zeller alerted emergency medical services and began CPR.

Assisted by Trooper Michael Lane, who responded to the scene, Trooper Zeller administered several doses of the overdose reversal drug Narcan and continued chest compressions until Boston EMS arrived. He and Trooper Lane were able to re-establish a pulse and revive the man, who was transported to Boston Medical Center, where he is expected to recover.”
