In May 2016 Henry Heimlich used the maneuver for the first and only time, saving the life of a fellow resident at his retirement home in Cincinnati.

His work here was finally done.

Richard... reading more about him he does seem to have had a sketchy road.

From Wikipedia... you can follow the trail further if you wish...

Allegations of case fraud have dogged Heimlich's promotion of abdominal thrusts as a treatment for drowning. The 2005 drowning rescue guidelines of the American Heart Association did not include citations of Heimlich's work and warn against the use of the Heimlich maneuver for drowning rescue as unproven and dangerous, due to its risk of vomiting leading to aspiration.

Quote

In 2003, Heimlich's colleague Edward Patrick issued a press-release portraying himself as the uncredited co-developer of the maneuver. "I would like to get proper credit for what I've done...but I'm not hyper about it."

Quote

Peter Heimlich, whose website describes what he alleges to be his father's "wide-ranging, unseen 50-year history of fraud";
