An Indiana man is crediting one of the most iconic scenes of "The Office" for helping him save his daughter's life.
Matt Uber, from Carmel, Indiana, was playing with his four-year-old daughter, Vera Posy on April 25th. Matt said that he and Vera were running around and "she was chasing and giggling and laughing and all of a sudden, she wasn’t", according to WTHR.
