Board 8 > Texas Cousins DROWN trying to save a 5 y/o..and they DIDN'T know how to SWIM!!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

17 y/o Wilmer Rodriguez and 18 y/o Jaerson Alvarez, 2 cousins from Texas JUMPED into a river to try to save a 5 y/o girl..even though neither could SWIM..and ended up DROWNING as soon as they got into the river as the girl ended up being SAVED by her 25 y/o father!!

The cousins were on a fishing trip near Highway 105 near Moss Hill when they saw a little girl in trouble as they jumped into the water to try to save her, alongside the girl's 25 y/o father, Abel Castellanos

Castellanos managed to save his daughter even though he ingested river water and had to be flown to Life Flight to a local Houston hospital for medical assistance

But the 2 cousins immediately got into trouble themselves after entering as Alvarez jumpe din first but never came back up and Rodriguez diver in after but also failed to remerged as neither knew how to swim

Erik Frausto, a friend said "Can you imagine, they didn't even know how to swim, they didn't even think, they just jumped in to try to help"..

A joint search by the Volunteer Fire Department and Liberty County Sheriff's office were not able to recover the bodies until the following day where they were found in 45ft of water in the morning

Several people have died in that river that is described as having a strong current underneath as large signs have been put up at various parts of the river to warn people of the deep and dangerous waters

A Gofundmepage was launched raising just under 5000 so far

Would you jump in to save someone even if you didn't know how to swim?
