July 15, 2024 – At a bar in Mexico City, Dartmouth’s Devin Corey found himself explaining his recently completed memoir manuscript to a lifelong friend and their colleague when a woman walks in appearing intoxicated and passes out on a sofa. “I realized this woman was overdosing,” he said.
He explained his intervention in the situation saved the woman’s life as the emergency services there were not sure what was wrong.
“If it wasn’t for my recovery and my checkered past, I wouldn’t have had the ability to save that woman’s life,” he said.
Following the events of the night, Corey reconnected with his friend and their colleague, who he had only met that day. He explained that he had seen his friend post on Instagram about being in the city, and after a decade of not seeing each other, Corey reached out to meet up.
The friend and colleague, who work for the publishing company, Simon and Schuster, were amazed by what had happened, Corey said. The next day, the colleague contacted Corey and requested to read the manuscript.
