Young NSW man awarded for heroic actions

A YOUNG NSW man who tried in vain to save a mate electrocuted in Bali will be hailed for his bravery.

Michael Kennedy was 17 when he put his own life in danger to pull his friend Jake Flannery away from a live wire on November 26, 2011.

The two boys, both from the NSW Central Coast, were in Bali celebrating their Schoolies week when the freak accident occurred.

Mr Flannery, 18, was electrocuted when he accidentally brushed against an electrified metal pole, courtesy of an adjacent live wire leading from a neon sign attached to a cafe in Kuta.

Mr Kennedy stepped in and dragged Mr Flannery away before conducting CPR in an attempt to revive him.

The pair had completed their HSC at the selective Gosford High School just a few weeks earlier.

Mr Kennedy is one of 31 Australians being awarded a Commendation for Brave Conduct on Sunday by Governor-General Quentin Bryce.

They join 31 people who will receive a Bravery Medal and 10 groups who will see their actions recognised by a Group Bravery Citation.
