Maggie Penman, The Washington Post; He ate at this restaurant every day. When he didn’t show, the chef saved his life.
"Stallworth went to Hicks’s apartment and knocked. There was no answer. He knocked again, and still no answer. Stallworth was about to turn and leave when he heard a faint cry for help. He opened the door, which was unlocked, and found Hicks on the floor. He had fallen, and was severely dehydrated with two broken ribs. Stallworth was on the phone with Galloway back at the restaurant and asked her to call 911.
“When I got there, he didn’t even know what day it was or what time it was,” Stallworth said. “He really couldn’t talk, because he was so dehydrated.”
Stallworth stayed with him and tried to give him some water while they waited for the ambulance.
“I don’t know what would have happened if Donell hadn’t showed up,” Hicks said. The story was first reported by local station WEAR-TV."
