Another case of a good samaritan doing the right thing.

Delray woman saves the life of 84-year-old more than 1,000 miles away

The stranger is Ashley Yasick, a 27-year-old banker in Delray Beach who checked her messages Monday, only to find a voicemail from a distressed Buck asking for help.

"He said, 'Audrey I have fallen a couple of times and can't get up and I'm short of breath and hung up," said Notor, who lives in New Jersey, a couple of hours away from her father.

"It was a very distressing phone call. I kept asking him 'Where are you?' but he couldn't really talk," Yasick said. "I kept saying, 'I need you to give me more information.' He kept telling me he was in the back room of the house."

When Yasick got off the phone she turned to Google to look up Buck's phone number. To her surprise, the search yielded an address in Norwood, Pa. Yasick knew that calling 911 from her phone would just route her to a local police department. So she looked up the Norwood Police Department online and called their non-emergency number.
