After looking for her for several days, police and family found her surrounded by a pack of lions next to a rather large blood stain. She told them that she was kidnapped by two men who tried to force her to marry one of em and that they even tried to rape her. Lions came out of nowhere and her assailants barely made it out alive.

Simon Stegall fell in potentially fatal diabetic coma during his sleep. When his wife came home from work, she ignored it, thinking he was just taking a nap after long day at work. Only one who noticed something was off was his pet rabbit named Lili. She quickly jumped on him and started licking him. After he didn't wake up, his wife realized something was wrong and called for help. Medics who revived Mr. Simon said that timing was crucial, and if she had called them just few minutes later, they wouldn't have been able to do anything.
