Hero Drowned Saving Girl in Rip Current | Los Angeles News

A heroic Good Samaritan in Myrtle Beach saved a young girl from a deadly rip current Friday night—but tragically, the rescuer was pulled under and later found washed ashore. Lifeguards were off duty, underscoring how perilously fast and powerful these currents can be—even dragging victims out at eight feet per second. A multi-hour search by police and fire ended Saturday morning, leaving a somber reminder: ocean dangers aren’t just for swimmers, but for anyone trying to help—especially when lifeguards aren’t around.
