Father Drowns While Trying To Rescue Children In Denton

Monday, an 11-year-old boy tried to grab his fishing pole and fell out of a boat on a large, private lake on Chinn Road, on the north side of Denton. His sister fell in trying to rescue her brother. Their dad jumped in to save his children. Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Denton treated the children for hypothermia and exposure but was unable to revive their father.
