Guy who couldn't swim dies saving boy from drowning

[rj144]

This doesn't get much more heroic in my mind:

"A 22-year-old man has been hailed as a hero after he selflessly leaped into a roaring river and saved a boy who had fallen in before he tragically succumbed to the river’s strong current.

When 5-year-old Vincent Gonzalez fell into a river while walking with his family at Sequoia National Park in California, Victor Mozqueda — a friend of the family who was visiting the park with them — quickly jumped to the boy’s rescue, even though he didn’t know how to swim."

Keep those kids on a leash.

Where’s the dad?? How come no one jumped in after the guy?? Sad story.

I think people are coming to the wrong conclusion here.

The real lesson is, do you know how to swim?

If not get your swimming skills woke motherfucker. It could save your life and the lives of others.

I've been there. It is slippery by the water! I would never let my child near the river. Insanity.

Poor parenting leads to a death.

Man that's awful, prayers and thoughts for all who are involved

Life is dangerous Mr. Perfect.

Life is dangerous Mr. Perfect.

5 year olds need tot be kept away from the edge of that river. It's just logical.

Even the best of swimmers have a good chance drowning in a river. Things are no joke.

The captain of the high school swim team died after going into the Mississippi river to retrieve a football in the 1960s.

Australia's president was washed away and disappeared in the 60's
