The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office and Chillicothe Department of Emergency Services responded to a call of a possible drowning south of Highway 190 Friday afternoon.
Sheriff Steve Cox reports the sheriff’s office, emergency services, the State Fire Marshall Investigator, and a Chillicothe Airport pilot spread over various areas of Livingston County in an attempt to locate the unresponsive person and the group who had been floating.
A Missouri Department of Conservation Agent also responded with a boat to the Chillicothe Boat Ramp to assist but was not needed further.
Cox says the group found the unresponsive person in a remote location in an area with a steep bank and mud.
The group worked together and got the patient out of the area with several persons administering CPR.
Life Flight Eagle transported the patient to a hospital in Kansas City.
