Lifeguards recovered the body of a Florida man Monday after he tried to save the life of a teenager, Indiana conservation officers said.
"A female teen in the water was in distress and the gentleman went into the water and attempted to rescue her," Porter Fire Chief Jay Craig told The Times.
"Tom was picking up trash along the beach that day. While we're all together as a family, he was picking up trash, and we heard a girl out in the water calling for help. And Tom didn't hesitate at all," Laura Saylor, Kennings sister said. "He had his hat and his phone and took off into the water." Kenning was a middle school teacher at Plato Academy in Pinellas Park. The staff said he was beloved by the students and will be deeply missed.
