Most of these stories seemed blown out of proportion. He didn't save the girl's life. She was recovering from ecstasy withdrawals. He might of helped find her but I wouldn't say he saved her life. Apparently, everyone on that boat didn't know how to swim nor did they have life jackets. Seems pretty reasonable to assume they would have all drowned a few hundred feet from shore if he didn't come to the rescue with his jet skis. He did a few good acts which somehow equates to being a hero. I helped a guy get out of a flipped SUV one time. I would say I helped him not saved his life.

The article doesnt go into the details of the gil he saved, but if you look at an article does go into detail, he did save her life. The girl was having a bad reaction to the ecstacy and if she had been left to her own like she was, she would have died.

You can't die from ecstasy withdrawals. The main way you die on ecstasy is through dehydration, heat exhaustion, abnormal heart rhythms and liver failure. I have never taken the drug but just looking up the withdrawal symptoms there is no mention of death.
Symptoms include (in varying severity):
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Panic Attacks
- Insomnia
- Lack of ones ego (De-personalization)
- Loss of reality
- Paranoid Delusions

It isn't like she is withdrawing from a heroin or alcohol addiction which could lead to death.
