It's a heart-wrenching start to what usually is an exciting time of year for the Adkins family.

"We wish that no family would have to go through this," said Kayla Adkins.

On Opening Day of Michigan's firearm deer season, Friday, November 15th, Gregg Adkins went hunting for the last time.

"They found him on the ground. He was supposed to come back at 5:10. He never came back to meet his hunting buddies," said Kayla.

57-year-old Gregg Adkins, from Lincoln Park, was hunting in Tuscola County and was found at the bottom of his tree stand.

Tragically, he is one of at least three Michigan deer hunters who have died within the first week of firearm deer season.

The Adkins family said that they still don't know exactly what Gregg died from, Doctors have told them it may have been a blood clot or a partial heart attack.

"He was physically active, he always went to the doctor," said Kayla, emphasizing how physically in shape her father was.

Authorities say the other two men, ages 65 and 83, were trying to haul away heavy animals and died of heart attacks.

7 News Detroit reached out to Dr. Chadi Alraies, a cardiologist at DMC Heart Hospital, for his advice to hunters.

He said that anyone going hunting should condition themselves by starting an exercise program, or at least walking for an hour, four to five days a week.

He also said that it is imperative that you meet with a doctor, and are aware of any medical predispositions that put you at risk.

"Especially if the hunters are smokers, this puts them at higher risk for heart disease," said Dr. Alraies. "Two, if they are overweight this is another risk factor, and third, which is the most common, or the most dangerous, is genetic predisposition, meaning the heart disease runs in the family."

A final tip from Dr. Alraies?

Always make sure someone knows where you're hunting and there is a way they can get in contact with you.

As the Adkins family waits for Gregg's autopsy results, they say that they are grateful he always had a hunting buddy.

Someone to look out for the man, who always looked out for others.

"He loved his family more than anything, and his grandkids more than anything," said Gregg's wife, Candace Adkins.

In the aftermath of Tuesday's fiery explosion at the Keatington New Town Condominiums, thousands are talking about a mystery Amazon delivery driver who ran into the danger.

Resident Paul Kastran said, "Hes a hero. Hes the first guy who jumped in."

Young Chris Deluca told 7 News Detroit that he saw the man carry a victim out of the fire, "It was pretty heroic."

His mom Lauren Deluca said, "To go into that, not knowing if anything else was going to explode? He definitely put his life on the line."

No one knew exactly who he was, but they knew how his heroic actions made them feel.

Young Leighton Mcameer said, "My mom had to run back in and get her purse, and the Amazon person was standing right there and I was crying because I was really scared and then he came over and held my hand and told me it would all be okay."

After a day of searching, 7 News Detroit did find the hero.

Too humble to go on camera, Christopher Bissonnette agreed to talk over the phone. He shared that he was delivering packages to the neighborhood when he saw the explosion around 7 p.m. Tuesday. He looked up and saw an older gentleman, clothes half-burned off, standing in the middle of the disaster.

"I moved some debris around and picked him up by one leg, grabbed his back and carried him out of there and got him to the side of the curb," said Bissonnette. "Then I ran around trying to help the other lady."

Bissonnette said he does remember seeing Leighton Mcameer, "Her brother and her were standing there in the middle of the yard, and she goes Im so scared Im like Come here, come here, I got you.'"

After making sure everyone was okay, he said he tried to drive off unnoticed, "Thats when the other residents saw me and started talking to me. I told them what happened and they started calling me a hero."

When asked how that made him feel, he responded, "Awkward, I didnt know how to accept it, and it felt weird."

However, extremely deserving.

A day later Bissonnette, like many of the residents, is still working through the catastrophe that happened at the condominiums.

In the end, he said he simply did what he knew was right.

"God keeps putting me in weird conditions, the right spots I guess," said Bissonnette.

Where Your Voice Matters

A Detroit family sprang into action to save their elderly neighbor after a fire broke out inside her home early Tuesday morning.

The fire happened around 3:30 a.m. on the city's east side on Hickory Street near Linnhurst Street, which is near Gratiot Avenue and 7 Mile Road.

Jennae Williams, who lives on Hickory Street, told 7 News Detroit she woke up to the smell of heavy smoke. Then, she looked outside.

"I heard someone screaming help me. Help me! Im screaming at my brother like we have to help. We have to help! He wakes up out of his sleep. We run over here and shes almost out the door, but we literally had to pick her up and get her out of the house," Williams said.

Williams said her and her brother were able to carry their neighbor, 90-year-old Miss. Louise Harris, out of her home and to safety.

Detroit firefighters took the elderly woman to the hospital to be checked out.

Demetrious Washington lives across the street and told us that Miss. Harris has lived there since 1974.

"We all look out for Miss. Harris," Washington said. "Everybody knew her, she looked out for the community, she loved the kids, she loved everybody, shes a beautiful woman."

The majority of the damage to Miss Harris' house is on the back of it, but it does not appear livable.

The Detroit Fire Department said the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Norma Black attends Galilee Missionary Baptist Church with the victim and said Tuesday afternoon that Miss. Harris is physically unharmed.

"Shes tired and shes resting. Shes still feisty and she was thanking everyone for what theyve done for her," Black said.

Black also said that Miss. Harris has nowhere to go when she leaves the hospital.

"The house is not livable, so were looking for somewhere for her to reside," Black said.

Without a home right before the holidays is a heartbreaking situation but together, the many who know and love Miss. Harris say they will work to ensure that she is safe.

"I think thats what neighbors are for we all gotta have each others backs," Williams said.

On Monday afternoon, Hamsa Daher showed us around the building that was St. Vincent Middle School in Detroit's Corktown.

It's the building she and her co-founder Paul Spiegelman are now working to turn into Kintsugi Village.

"This is going to be a community hub," Daher explained.

Kintsugi Village is a nonprofit.

Daher told 7 News Detroit that the first floor of the building will be an early childhood education center for 3-year-olds to 5-year-olds.

The second floor will be home to an artist incubator and a retreat center.

"It will be a collaborative sort of space, so well have a residency program that will support up and coming artists, where they can hone their skills and also learn the business side of things," Daher said.

The third floor is planned to be an event space and have a culinary kitchen.

Daher said the idea is that those working and learning on each of the floors will co-exist and support each other.

"So the kitchen will serve food for the kiddos at the school. It will also serve food for any groups in the building," Daher said.

Bobby Jones lives next door to the building and told 7 News Detroit, "Our neighborhood's really cool, but especially for people who have lived here a long time, there isnt a whole lot of important community things that youd expect to have."

It's because of this that Jones said he's really excited about the building concept.

"Its going to be really awesome. You wouldnt think it, but there is a lot of children in this neighborhood, so its going to be a good benefit," Jones said.

Longtime Detroiter Nadia told 7 News Detroit she enjoyed the idea of the artist incubator.

"As an artist, we like having those safe spaces because a lot of times, we feel like we have to go abroad to those spaces," she said.

Daher said Corktown community members have informed her that parking has become a problem since the Detroit neighborhood has spiked in growth. For this reason Daher said Kintsugi Village will have on-site parking, as well as a greenhouse and community garden.

"Thats really an opportunity to invite the community in, so they feel like this is all sort of theirs and they can participate in that," Daher said.

Kintsugi is a Japanese art, which means to join with gold, to piece broken shards together again and create a more beautiful object.

That's exactly what Daher hopes to do with Kintsugi Village.

"Detroit has been through a lot and is resilient but when we all come together, were stronger, were much more supportive of each other and thats really the metaphor for this sort of work we are doing here," Daher said.

Kintsugi Village's childhood center is planned to open in September 2025. Daher said the second and third floor will open in the months that follow.

They plan to hold a Corktown community meeting on Dec. 2 to show the community their plans and hear any ideas.
