Members of the Joppa Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company responded and were able to apply CPR and resuscitate Muchele.
He was eventually flown to the hospital by helicopter, where he remained in critical condition until his death.
A Go Fund Me has been set up to assist Zephania's family with medical and funeral expenses. In four days, $7,646 has been raised towards a $10,000 goal.
