New York couple shelters body of woman who died in the cold during Christmas Eve rescue attempt
David Purdy and his fiancee, Cassieopia Layhee, opened their door to a stranger in a ski mask on Christmas Eve. That stranger was Antwaine Parker, and he and his step-brother were trying to save the life of Parker’s mother, Carolyn Eubanks.With emergency services refusing to respond to calls during the blizzard, Eubanks’s life was in the hands of her son, his brother-in-law, and two perfect strangers, the news outlet reported.
"They’re two beautiful people. They didn’t have to let me in. I had to thank Dave and Cassie, two strangers I’ve never seen in my life, never met. They allowed my mother to rest in peace on their living room floor," Parker said.Parker defended his decision to take action in the situation and drive from his house to his mother's home — a drive that would typically take about 10 minutes but took around seven hours because there were so many vehicles stuck on the road.
