PITTSBURGH (AP) - A retired Marine who caught a woman as she jumped from the upper deck of a stadium following an Oakland Raiders game is among 21 people being honored with medals and cash from the Pittsburgh-based Carnegie Hero Fund Commission.

Three others being honored for various rescue attempts died in the process, so their families will receive the awards in their name.

The retired Marine, 61-year-old Donnie Navidad, of Stockton, California, is credited with saving the life of a 20-year-old woman who dropped from the Oakland Coliseum just after a game on Nov. 24.

Navidad positioned himself to catch the 100-pound woman and managed to break most of her 45-foot fall.

The commission founded in 1904 by steel magnate and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie has now honored 9,718 individuals.
