“I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of prayers, love and support for my family’s well-being. I would like to thank my Aunt Rena as well as the doctors and nurses who are working with us around the clock,” his statement continued. “I would especially like to thank the two men who saved my son’s life, Eugene Stachurski and Ben Crews. They are true heroes and I am deeply grateful to them.”

As previously reported by the Associated Press, Usher Raymond V, just 5-years-old, became stuck in the drain of a pool at a home in downtown Atlanta on Tuesday.

A contractor working at the home, gave the boy CPR and he was later taken by paramedics to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Scottish Rite.
