There was a pro wrestler named Shad Gaspard, one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet, who died by drowning...while trying to save his son from drowning.
He was in WWE for a while, as half of the tag team Cryme Tyme. They were so funny.
I remember when Shad turned on JTG, "My time!" It was so impactful, and he looked like a beast in the ring.
He is a legend. Street Profits, Carmelo Hayes, TrIck Williams, lots of the current crop of black talent are so heavily influenced by what they did over a decade ago.
"As he was driving to NCCU, he was involved in a minor car accident."
"His family told Houston NBC affiliate KPRC that he checked to make sure everyone in the other car was OK and was struck by an oncoming vehicle."
"Howard suffered brain trauma and was placed on life support, but ultimately died on Aug. 1, according to North Carolina Central University."
That's totally unfair. He was concerned about the well being of the occupants in the other car and then gets struck by an oncoming car.

Did he save his son from drowning?
I should have clarified--eventually, his son was safely rescued.
He actually told authorities who had come to the rip-current he was caught in to save his son before saving him.
That must've been some violent water. Did Mr. Gaspard know how to swim?
