In a series of tragic incidents off the coast of South Carolina, two individuals, former Cobb County Police Officer Chase Childers and a father of three, drowned while attempting to rescue swimmers caught in dangerous rip currents. Childers, a former MLB prospect, jumped into the water to save a family of five, sacrificing his life in front of his wife and children. Both incidents highlight the dangers of rip currents, prompting local officials in Pawleys Island to raise awareness about beach safety. With multiple rescue teams responding to distress calls, the community mourns the loss of these heroes who gave their lives trying to save others.
