“Kiss of Life”, 1968 Pulitzer Prize

A utility worker, J.D. Thompson, is suspended on a utility pole and giving mouth to mouth resuscitation to a fellow lineman, Randall G. Champion, who was unconscious and hanging upside down after contacting a high voltage line.

Champion survived and lived until 2002, when he died of heart failure at the age of 64. Thompson is still living.
