FOX4: With 3% chance to live, KC man gives 'once in a lifetime' Super Bowl game a whole new meaning

Less than a year-and-a-half after suffering a life-threatening heart attack before a Chiefs game, superfan Dan Boos got to see his team win the Super Bowl. 

In September 2018, FOX4 interviewed Dan on his decked-out Chiefs bus for a Red Friday special. Moments later, he collapsed from a heart attack. FOX4 reporter Kerri Stowell and other bystanders jumped in to perform CPR until first responders arrived. 

Dan was taken to Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute where a team of cardiologists worked quickly to save his life. You may have seen FOX4's story earlier this year. 

Now, the fan who has only missed a handful of games in 30 years, says he appreciates the Chiefs--and life--even more.

"I certainly look at things differently, and cherish all those moments that I have with my family and friends," Dan said.
