You mean after nearly drowning. If someone has drowned, that person is dead. Get your headlines straight.
Plus the headline is misleading. It makes it sound like the person nearly drowned in Central Park. No, that’s where the helicopter landed after the victim was brought there by ground ambulance from another location. No need to sensationalize a tragedy, making it sound like the park is dangerous.
