## Resource

In December 1979, 11-year-old Darven Miller fell through the ice on Duncan Creek and remained submerged for nearly 30 minutes before rescuers pulled his lifeless body from the freezing water. What happened next at a small Wisconsin hospital would defy every medical expectation and help rewrite the protocols for cold water drowning survival.
