Guttman’s niece, 9, was pulled out of
the water safely by a group of surfers
and required no medical assistance,
Ynet reported.
Guttman and his family were at the
beach, which had no lifeguard ser-
vices, to celebrate the first anniversary
of the date on which doctors informed
him that he had been misdiagnosed
with cancer, and that in fact, he actu-
ally had a much less severe disease.
“Amir entered the water with his
niece Shachar and another friend Yael.
Within moments they began drifting
away,” said singer Michal Amdursky, a
close friend of Guttman who was with
him at the beach. “Amir held Shachar
above water so that she wouldn’t
drown. He was utterly fatigued. My
husband, Jeffrey, and two other surfers
went into the ocean to rescue him. The
ocean was harsh and did not allow
them to reach the coast quickly. Amir
swallowed a lot of water.”
Singer Aviv Geffen, also a friend
of Guttman, took to Twitter to show
solidarity with the former performer.
“My thoughts and heart are with Amir

Fryszer Guttman,” Geffen wrote. “I
hope you overcome the waves.”
In March 2016, Guttman was diag-
nosed by doctors at Tel Aviv’s Ichilov
Hospital as suffering from non-Hodg-
kin lymphoma, but three months later,
after undergoing several chemothera-
py sessions, he was told by staff at the
medical center that he did not, in fact,
have cancer.
Earlier this month, Guttman filed a
NIS 5 million ($1.4 million) financial
lawsuit against Ichilov Hospital over
the misdiagnosis.
In the 1990s, boy band Hi Five —
including members Guttman and
former Detroiter and Hillel Day School
grad Michael HarPaz —dominated
Israel’s music charts, and the group’s
hits, such as “Yom Me’unan” (“Cloudy
Day”), “Z’man Mesiba” (“Party Time”)
and “Tzo’eket Ahava” (“Screaming
Love”), played repeatedly on local
radio stations. The band broke up
in 2000, but last year announced
that it would reunite. However, after
Guttman was misdiagnosed with can-
cer, a reunion tour was canceled. •
