UPDATE: According to HPD Commander S. Spears, the body description was “similar” to that of a man who was swept away by a current while helping rescue two 12-year-olds Wednesday. HPD kprc2 click2hou htx hounews
“As of right now, it is a preliminary investigation and we’re conducting a thorough one,” Spears said in a news conference.“We get quite a few drownings over in this area,” Spears said. “And I can’t confirm or deny that this is that individual but the guy that jumped in, he risked his life to save these kids. He’s a hero. He did everything he could, and I hope this is not it but it fits a similar description.
On Wednesday, Lt. L. Crowson said the kids were near the water and slipped in. Two men then jumped in after them and were able to get the kids to safety before one of them was pulled away by the current. In the news conference, Spears said he was unsure why the kids were in the bayou or how they got in there.“I don’t want to blame their parents because kids are kids,” Spears said. “Be aware of them. They need supervision. Summertime is coming. Even at pools. Don’t think pools are safe.
