NEW ORLEANS — Sgt. Stephen Rhodes wasn’t even supposed to be at Grand Isle Beach the evening he rescued a near-drowned 7-year-old girl from the underside of a capsized boat and revived her as her frantic family watched.
It’s just one in a string of “astronomical” coincidences that the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries agent said put him and other good Samaritans in the right place at the right time to save the Baton Rouge girl’s life Saturday evening.
“There’s a ton of little things that happened that gave her the perfect opportunity to survive,” Rhodes said. “If I talk plainly, God was not ready for her.”
