NYPD Officer dies saving a life

[Queen B]

RIP New York's Finest

A retired NYPD officer reportedly died over the weekend as he saved a young boy from drowning during a family trip in Puerto Rico.
The body of Jose Rosario, 47, washed ashore Monday after he was swept away by choppy waters two days earlier when he jumped into the water at Playa de Jobos to rescue a 12-year-old boy who was struggling to stay afloat, according to the New York Post.


Rosario was able to get the boy to safety onto a rock, but the former Manhattan detective of more than 20 years was pulled away by a wave as his wife and children watched, according to the Post.

Sad his family was there but he went out a hero. Sucks stories like this rarely get headlines, while Katy Perry's haircut is top news.
