Witnesses urged two good Samaritans to enter the water and rescue a father and child that were caught in a rip current. The two men never made it back to shore and were retrieved by fishermen in boats. The men were never revived and were pronounced dead at the scene. One man was 60 years old from Eagle Springs, NC, the other was 53 from Clayton, NC. The father and child were successfully rescued. |
