In 2010, a guy in Connecticut had his arm trapped in his furnace for 3 days, smelled it rotting, and sawed through most of it himself with a saw blade before passing out. A coworker who noticed he missed work stopped by, heard the dog, called 911, and firefighters had to rip the furnace apart to get him out. Doctors say he saved his own life.

In June 2010, 31-year-old Jonathan Metz of West Hartford, Connecticut, reached into his basement furnace to fix it, only to have his left arm become trapped between the heating cores. After three days alone, drinking only leaking water and screaming for help, he smelled his own flesh rotting from gangrene. Knowing infection would kill him, he made a tourniquet from his shirt and used a saw blade to cut through most of his arm before passing out. A coworker and friend, worried when Metz didn’t show up for work, stopped by, heard the dog barking, and called 911. Firefighters freed him with heavy rescue tools. Doctors say his desperate self-amputation saved his life by stopping the toxins from spreading.
