Elderly man survives on nothing but Coca-Cola for 5 days after falling in home

一位老人在家中跌倒后，仅靠可口可乐就活了5天。

An elderly man had to survive five days on nothing but Coca-Cola — the only thing he could reach after he fell in the kitchen of his Arlington home and was unable to get back up, according to local reports.

据阿灵顿当地媒体报道，一位老年人只靠可口可乐活了五天，可口可乐是他摔倒在厨房里后，唯一能够到的东西。

It wasn’t until the local mail carrier noticed his correspondence piling up that police and paramedics were summoned and rescued Glenn Smith, WUSA-TV reported.

据Wusa-TV报道，直到当地邮递员注意到他的信件堆积如山，报警后，警察和医护人员才赶到并救出格伦·史密斯。

“His door had been open a couple of day-s and (the mail carrier) noticed the mail hadn’t been moved,” neighbor Jared Agnew told ARLnow.

“他的门开了几天，(邮递员)注意到邮件却没有动过。”邻居在接受记者采访时表示。

Smith was transported to Virginia Hospital Center, where he was listed in stable condition.

史密斯被送往维吉尼亚医院中心，目前情况稳定。

“We were horrified and shocked but we were really happy to hear about the Coke, that he could keep himself, you know, alive and okay until help came,” next door neighbor Christen Bensten told the station.

隔壁邻居克里斯滕·本斯滕告诉记者：“我们都很震惊，但我们真的很高兴听到可乐的事，他让自己活着等到了救援。”

“I wish that we could have found out sooner so we could have been of help, but we’re certainly going to be here to support Glenn going forward,” she said.

她说:“我真的希望我们能早点知道真相，这样我们就能早点帮他，现在我们希望格伦能早日恢复。”
