What began as a quick stop before heading out to go fishing turned into a heroic act that now has an entire community talking about the importance of helping others.<\/p>\n

Three Cooper City High School students were recognized by the city after stepping in during a medical emergency that could have ended in tragedy.<\/p>\n

The incident happened Sunday, April 19, shortly after 2:30 p.m., on Flamingo Road just north of Stirling Road. <\/p>\n

Logan Royer, 16; Cody Magrone, 16; and Brody Murray, 17, had planned to go fishing and stopped at a nearby McDonald\u2019s to grab a drink when they noticed a man pulled over on the roadside trying to change a tire.<\/p>\n

At first, it looked like nothing more than a mechanical problem.<\/p>\n

They walked over to help. But once they got there, they quickly realized the situation was far more serious.<\/p>\n

65-year-old Diego Fern\u00e1ndez-Delgado was having trouble breathing, sweating heavily, and complaining of severe chest pain. His phone was out of battery, and he had no way to call for help. <\/p>\n

“When I saw that I couldn’t [change the tire] anymore, you lose hope,” Fern\u00e1ndez-Delgado said. “And then I heard their voices.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when the teenagers sprang into action. Fern\u00e1ndez-Delgado told them to call 911, which Logan did while they waited for emergency crews.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know how he did it, to be able to give all the information [about where we were],” Fern\u00e1ndez-Delgado said. “Three angels arrived in the same moment.”<\/p>\n

Bodycam video shows an officer approaching the teens as Fern\u00e1ndez-Delgado kneels by the passenger side door. <\/p>\n

\u201cSir, are you OK?\u201d the officer asks, while Fern\u00e1ndez-Delgado clutches his chest. “The rescue is here to check you out. Your chest hurt?”<\/p>\n

According to authorities, Fern\u00e1ndez-Delgado was suffering a heart attack, and the teens\u2019 quick response likely saved his life.<\/p>\n

He was taken to Memorial Hospital West, where he received medical treatment and later underwent several procedures.<\/p>\n

During a special session held Tuesday, May 12, at Cooper City Hall, the city commission officially recognized the teenagers for their actions.<\/p>\n

“I was really like, wow. We actually did that. And God sent us to help that guy. It was very, very, like, a miracle,” Logan said. <\/p>\n

He remembered the moment he realized how serious the situation was.<\/p>\n

“When Cody and Brody were changing the tire, I noticed him sitting in the passenger seat, and he was heavy breathing, sweating a lot, not really speaking to me,” Logan said. “It was very shocking to me… I thought he was having a heatstroke at first.”<\/p>\n

Fern\u00e1ndez-Delgado’s son, Cristian, told authorities that he was deeply grateful for what the teens did for his father.<\/p>\n

He said his father had been praying for help, knowing the situation was dire.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod didn\u2019t send angels with wings. He sent those boys,\u201d Cristian Fern\u00e1ndez said.<\/p>\n

The city also spotlighted a mechanics class taught at Cooper City High School that officials said built their “confidence to help in the first place.”<\/p>\n

“I immediately texted his teacher… and let him know, what you’re doing is working,” Melinda Magrone, Cody’s mother, said, “because this kid just changed a tire and saved a guy’s life.”<\/p>\n

The City of Cooper City said the teens\u2019 actions reflect the values of solidarity and compassion that define the community, and showed how a simple act of kindness can make the difference between life and death.<\/p>\n
