Dog Owner Is Second To Die Trying To Rescue Pet
A man is the second in two days to lose his life trying to save a pet as police warn against entering waterways swollen by storms.
Two men have been killed in the space of two days trying to rescue their dogs from fast-flowing river waters as storms caused hazardous conditions across Britain.
A 46-year-old man was swept away by the current after he leapt into the River Lemon after his pet in Newton Abbot at 11.15am on Tuesday.
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said he was later spotted some distance downstream by police officers, who managed to retrieve him from the river.
An air ambulance took him to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, but he was later pronounced dead.
The dog escaped from the water unharmed.
