Get Marty: Man Reunites With Officers Who Saved His Life
CARNEGIE (KDKA) -- A Carnegie man wanted to thank a few police officers who helped save his life. So, he reached out to Get Marty for help.
"I would not be alive today if not for them," Joey Talmonti said.
Talmonti had a massive heart attack in the middle of a street in Coraopolis last October.
"I died in the street," Talmonti said.
Witnesses say a stranger stopped traffic and administered CPR on Talmonti for nearly five minutes.
"He's an angel. He's sent from God," Talmonti said.
Once Paramedics arrived, the Good Samaritan disappeared.

Coraopolis Police officers Sean Quinn and Brad Graham got to the scene and realized Talmonti was in bad shape.
While paramedics worked on Talmonti, the officers took action.
One officer drove the ambulance. The other officer led a police escort to the hospital.
"We thought he was dead. I'm so glad he's still with us," said Officer Graham.
"We are thankful we could help. We thought he wasn't going to make it," said officer Quinn.
Talmonti hugged both men.
"They are everyday heroes," said Talmonti.
Meantime, Talmonti is hoping the stranger who performed CPR on him and left the scene will come forward. He just wants to say thank you.
