Pizza hero: Colorado heart-attack victim revived by Iraqi war veteran delivering pie

Heart-attack victim saved by pizza deliveryman

LAKEWOOD, Colo. — Ordering a pizza may have saved George Linn’s life. Linn’s wife said he had just gone into cardiac arrest Friday when the pizza deliveryman knocked on the door of their Colorado home to bring their order. Kami Linn said she opened the door to “some burly-looking dude” and immediately asked for help.

The deliveryman, Chris Wuebben, happened to be a paramedic recently returned from Iraq.

Kami Linn said Wuebben performed CPR on her husband and revived him. Other paramedics who later arrived then took over. George Linn remains hospitalized in the intensive care unit.

Kami Linn said her husband has a history of heart problems.
