Two teens gave their lives to help save a 5-year-old girl from drowning in the treacherous Trinity River near Moss Hill in South Texas.

The tragedic incident unfolded on Aug. 2, 2020, when the teens saw that the girl’s father was already caught by a fast-moving current while attempting to rescue his daughter. The two teen heroes weren’t found until the next day after a search involving side-scan sonar revealed their bodies at the bottom of a 45-to-50-foot-deep water pool.
