Accidents - Disasters - Fires - Floods - Tragedies

May 05, 1955 - The little boy who died twice - and is now in perfect health.:Twenty months old Martin Harris fell into the goldfish pond in the garden of his home in Raynes Park, Surrey. His mother found him floating face downwards - and pulled him out. The ambulance was called and 46 year old driver William Crabb and attendant Edward Dunning (51) turned Martin upside down and rocked him gently - he had stopped breathing. He started to breathe again, but in Dunning's arms on way to Wimbledon Hospital - Martin died again. Once more artificial respiration was applied - and he started to breathe again. At the Hospital he was placed in an Oxygen tent. After a week he was able to go home - and is now perfectly ok. The goldfish pond has now been filled in.
