   A woman in Michigan survived a plunge into icy waters while   
   fishing on Monday thanks to some bystanders who kept her from   
   going under and a police officer who helped pull her to safety.   
      
   The Macomb County Sheriff's Office said on Facebook the incident   
   happened around 3:20 p.m. in Harrison Township, about 25 miles   
   north of downtown Detroit.   
      
   The woman was fishing when she lost her footing, slipping and   
   falling into the cold water below. The woman's friend, who was   
   on a dock nearby, heard her fall but was unable to pull her from   
   the water as the woman's body "began to go numb," according to   
   the sheriff's office.   
      
   "Two nearby fishermen heard the women’s cries and came over to   
   help," police said. "The two fishermen attempted to pull the   
   woman up onto the dock but struggled as the young lady’s body   
   had become completely numb and she was unable to move."   
      
   The woman, Korisa Miller, told FOX2 on Tuesday she was turning   
   and somehow lost her grip.   
      
   "After two minutes of me being in there, from the waist down was   
   completely numb," she said. "I couldn't feel my feet."   
      
   As the two strangers ran over to help, Miller's friend Melissa   
   Kozlowski called 911.   
      
   "They took off my jacket and sweater because it was choking me,"   
   Miller told FOX2. "That's why I was in a tank top, I didn't go   
   there in a tank top."   
      
   When deputies arrived on the scene, Miller had been in the 36-   
   degree water for 15 minutes as the two fishermen held on to keep   
   her from going under. Bodycam video released by police shows the   
   deputy dragging the woman out of the water.   
      
   Despite being in the chilly water and surviving with a sore   
   shoulder and frost-bitten toes, Miller said she plans to go ice   
   fishing again with proper precautions in place.   
      
   "We did not think that anything like this could happen," Miller   
   told FOX2. "We weren't on the ice. We were on the dock. It was a   
   freak accident; if we had a life jacket they could have laid on   
   the thick ice and pulled me up."   
      
   The Macomb County Sheriff's Office said the biggest key to   
   survival is "don't panic."   
      
   "Try to get control of your breathing. Hold onto something or   
   stay as still as possible until your breathing settles down,"   
   the sheriff's office said. "It may be a boat, a fixed object, or   
   something floating. Focus on floating with your head above water   
   until the cold shock response abates."
