One Florida man owes his life to an 8-year-old girl who performed the Heimlich maneuver on him, successfully dislodging a bit of food lodged in his windpipe.

On Jan. 9, 2022, Bradenton resident Michael Langston was at home, leisurely playing video games on a Sunday, when he took a bite of a sandwich and immediately started choking. He tried to wash it down, but to no avail.
