See The Moment Muhammad Ali Saved Man From Committing Suicide.

This is the miraculous moment that Muhammad Ali saved a suicidal man who was threatening to jump from a ninth-floor ledge. The late boxing champion , who died at the age of 74 this morning, left onlookers stunned as he dangled out of a window and talked the man down within 20 minutes after police negotiators had been trying for hours. 

The baying crowd watching from the ground had chillingly urged the "distraught" man to jump, but Ali offered a beacon of hope by promising to help the man find a job, this CBS News report shows.

The boxing legend then put his arms around the vulnerable 21-year-old and took the man to hospital in his Rolls-Royce. As he walked away from the scene onlookers chanted “USA! Digs Ali! USA! Digs Ali!” but rather than stopping for fans Ali focused all his time on the unidentified man.

The three-time former world champion, widely considered among the greatest heavyweights in the history of the sport, passed away this morning after being taken to an Arizona hospital with respiratory issues.
