Briton saves US toddler from hotel balcony fall

A BRITISH holiday-maker saved the life of a toddler after catching her as she fell from a hotel balcony.

Helen Beard, 44, of Worksop, England, was by a pool in the American resort of Orlando when she saw the child dangling through a railing of the fourth-four balcony.

The Briton, of Worksop, Nottinghamshire, ran to a spot under 16-month-old Jah-Nea Myles, before she fell, striking the balcony below on her way down.
