Priest dies after heroic sea rescue By Jeremy Charles, Evening Standard 31 July 2003
A Priest who dived into a stormy sea died after helping to save seven drowning children.
Father Stefano Garzegno, 44, suffered a fatal heart attack minutes after helping drag the last child ashore at Termoli on Italy's Adriatic coast.
Strong winds had made swimming conditions dangerous.

Change title to match article headline? Thanks.

After the vitriol that has been spewed at the Catholic Church today, for no better reason that the sheer bigotry of the posters doing the spewing, I think the title is fine as it is.

We all have to face our mortality some day, but not every death has to be meaningless. What a wonderful way to leave this world this good priest found!
