Man who tried to drown himself in pool is suing the people who pulled him out

When he was made assistant manager of a pool in Fairfax, Virginia, two years ago, Mateusz Fijalkowski spoke barely any English and did not know how to swim.

In the United States from Poland on a summer program, Fijalkowski spent most of his time here hospitalized after nearly drowning in that pool. Now Fijalkowski, 23, is suing the police officers and lifeguard who pulled him out.

Can we give him a mulligan and let him have another shot at it?

Tossed out of court in 3...2...1...

Title is a little missleadng he is suing the sherrifs office for not attempting to save him until he was at the bottom of the pool for over 2mins. According to that article they instructed the lifeguards not to save him either could be because he was having a bipolar meltdown or something and it wasn't safe for anyone to enter the pool? Also the article doesn't say he was trying to drown himself like the tile indicates a suciide attempt gone bad.

I thought it was a suicide save resulting in a law suit by the header but it was something completely different if you read the article
