PALM BAY, Fla. (WFLA) — A 70-year-old Florida man died after trying to rescue people from a boat that capsized in Palm Beach, according to officials.
The Riviera Beach Police Department said a boat carrying nine children and three adults started sinking on the south side of the Palm Beach Inlet Saturday afternoon.

What does Charles and his run in with the law have to do with this situation.
Wow, true hero.
But so sad - did he die of a heart attack or something else medical? Obviously not from the sinking boat.
Hate it when people just copy-paste but don’t edit out the nonsense links and extras.
OP copied and pasted.
“Florida dentist charged with fatal hit on law professor”
was another article. I was very confused also!
For those inticed by the teaser.
“What does Charles and his run in with the law have to do with this situation.”
Please refer your question to the OP.
“I hate when MSM uses term partner.
Cannot figure out who’s who.”
That’s their goal.
ROTFLMAO!
Maybe. We can pray that that would be the case. But just because someone dies doing a noble deed, doesn’t necessarily mean he goes to heaven. Generally speaking, if someone is living in a sinful situation (say, in an adulterous, fornicating, criminal, or homosexual relationship) and did not repent of it before he died, then his eternal destiny is in question. A good deed doesn’t negate any of this. Pray for his soul.
You have to go out...
Amen
Damned toxic masculinity!
As someone who knows boats (grew up in a boat manufacturing business), make sure that you don't overload your boat and don't take the floatation out. Make sure your bilge pump is working and make sure to check the weather.
You are a really hardcore Catholic.
God’s grace is greater than all our sins.
YES, The REAL story here
STAY WITH THE BOAT!
Modern day boats (like this one) DON’T SINK! Flotation built into the hull keeps them from sinking.
As someone else said PFDs (Personal Flotation Device) “Life Jacket”.
Throw PFDs to the people in the water. On a boat as big (YUGE) as his, he MUST have many PFDs (required) on board.
Throw them a line. WHY jump into the water yourself?
“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
John 15:13 NLT
Sounds like the boat may have been overloaded, unless those kids were really small.
Article says two women jumped off when boat started sinking but boat was still afloat as it was towed away.
The man died after jumping in to rescue the women after all kids were saved.
zi can understand the kids not being able to get atop the capsized boat but did the adults try to save them?
If the women had not jumped in, maybe the man would still be alive.
Or did they jump in to be rescued and not because the boat was sinking?
Cuban refugees?
