A 45-year-old Irish man has drowned while trying to rescue his daughter as the duo was on vacation in New South Wales, Australia.
“The incident happened at night at a popular Seven Mile Beach where the daughter was swept out to sea on a body board,” Daily Mail reported.
The father swam into the waves at Lennox Head on the northern coast of New South Wales to rescue his 11-year-old daughter.
Though he was able to reach her, the heroic father was unable to bring his daughter back to sure.
However, his wife also swam out and brought her daughter back to shore and alerted the authorities.
It was gathered that the beach was not being patrolled by a lifeguard at the time of the incident.
