WARMINSTER, Pa. - A Bucks County mail carrier is honored after his quick-thinking saved a man who fell unconscious along his route.

"Going down the street and I looked over and saw a man laying by the curb. Did a U-Turn, walked up, called 9-1-1. They asked me if he was breathing and I said it sounded like he was snoring and they told me I had to start CPR right away," Till explained.

After Till administered several chest compressions, the man started breathing again.

He says the whole experience was a daze and it’s hard to explain what it was like bringing someone back to life.
