By Peter WalkerA dad died after saving his young son from drowning in the sea, his grieving partner has revealed.
David Cole and his three-year-old boy were caught by a rip tide while at a beach in West Mersea on 11 June. The 30-year-old made sure his son was unharmed, keeping his head above water, but Mr Cole never regained consciousness.She praised the crew as "amazing" for their efforts. Ms Macdonald was on the beach with the couple's other son, aged one, when Mr Cole and their child got into difficulties."Not being able to do anything, feeling helpless, was so hard - it was horrible," said Ms Macdonald.
"The lifeboat crew were just really good at splitting themselves between being with my partner and trying to resuscitate him and then looking after my three-year-old.A paddleboarder and two lifeguards were first to help Mr Cole and his son before the RNLI crew arrived minutes later.Image source,
