A father of two has lost his life in Lake Michigan in an attempt to rescue his children from a deadly rip current. The children, aged 12 and 17, were retrieved and assisted back to shore by a first responder.
The 44-year-old father from Lakeville, Indiana, was visiting Lions Park Beach in St. Joseph with his kids on July 30 when the outing took a tragic turn. Four swimmers, including the father’s two children, went into the water and got caught in an undertow, St. Joseph Public Safety Department said in a statement.
