Neighbor saves man from drowning in LaGrange County lake

Posted:

A neighbor dove into a LaGrange County lake Friday evening to save a man from drowning.

Indiana Conservation Officers say 78-year-old Jennings Wirth of LaGrange was swimming from his dock on Fish Lake when he got tired. A neighbor, Laura Morlock, heard Wirth's wife yell for help. Morlock dove into the water and pulled Wirth to shore.

Wirth wasn't breathing when he was brought to shore. CPR was started and officers say Wirth regained consciousness as EMS and Fire crews arrived.

Crews took worth to a LaGrange hospital for observation.
