man dies while trying to save drowning boy

Came across this story from a few weeks back and it just broke my heart... Earlier this month in Washington DC, 37-year-old Hau Nguyen died while trying to save 11-year-old Jorge Castro, who was fishing nearby when he slipped and fell on some rocks into the Potomac River.

Nguyen jumped into the water to rescue Castro, and both were pulled under and swept away by a strong current. Their bodies were later recovered by authorities: Potomac River Tragedy Binds 2 Grieving Families. No matter what, Hau Nguyen is a hero, and my heart goes out to both families.
