US doctor Henry Heimlich, who invented the manoeuvre used to help victims of choking, has died aged 96.
A true Resuscitation legend, not only did he invent the abdominal thrust that will have saved so many lives, he also invented a chest drain device credited with saving the lives of many US soldiers in the Vietnam war.
More recently he used his name sakes manoeuvre to save a fellow nursing home residents life at the age of 96?! What an incredible individual.
