The actions of a Nanaimo woman may have saved her 83-year old neighbour last week.
On December 15th, Nicki Wilson dropped off some Christmas cookies to her neighbour Bob’s front porch.
According to Wilson, Bob lives alone and is a very kind man. Neighbours look out for him.
On December 20th, Nicki noticed the gift she had dropped off for him five days earlier had not been touched.
Nicki quickly called Nanaimo RCMP to check on her neighbour.
Once on scene, Constable Butler went to Bob’s apartment and began looking through the windows where he found Bob lying motionless on his bathroom floor.
Constable Butler forced the door open and called for an ambulance.
Bob was transported to the hospital where he remains. His current condition is unknown.
“This is why Check Well-Being calls are a priority call for our officers. Additionally, if it had not been for Nicki’s parcel and her concern for her neighbor, this may have been an entirely different outcome,” said Constable Gary O’Brien of the Nanaimo RCMP.
“As a footnote, Nicki hopes to be able to give Bob his parcel when he leaves the hospital.”
