A 2-year-old boy who was pulled from his family's backyard swimming pool without a pulse in Englewood, Colorado, survived after relatives performed CPR under the direction of a 911 dispatcher and went on to make a full recovery, according to accounts of the June 30, 1992 rescue.

The boy, Stephen Bradley, had moved into the home with his family only a few days earlier, according to the CBS series Rescue 911, which later reconstructed the case. The house had an in-ground pool that had not yet been fenced. While his mother, Rosemary Aird-Bradley, and his grandparents sorted through moving boxes, Stephen slipped outside through an open sliding glass door.

His 8-year-old sister, Kristen, noticed the open door, went to look and found the toddler face down in the water, the program said. She jumped in and pulled him out. Her mother found the boy limp and without a pulse, and his grandmother, Estelle Bradley, called 911.

The call was answered by Doug Terry, a dispatcher with South-Metro Fire Dispatch, who began talking the family through chest compressions as sheriff's deputies and Castlewood Fire Department crews were sent. Deputy Teresa Keenan of the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Department reached the house about four minutes later and took over CPR until a paramedic team led by Bob Smith arrived.

Stephen was flown to Porter Memorial Hospital in Denver in a coma, according to the account. He regained consciousness two days later and was discharged with no lasting physical or neurological injury.

The rescue was broadcast in January 1993 on Rescue 911, the CBS program hosted by William Shatner that reenacted emergency calls, and the case was later included in a companion book of stories from the series.
