Paddleboarder Dies Rescuing Girl in Utah Reservoir: A Tragic Safety Reminder
On Saturday evening, a 31-year-old man died in a Utah reservoir while attempting to rescue a 12-year-old girl. Daniel Braga Figueiredo entered Silver Lake Flat Reservoir on a paddleboard to assist the girl, who was drifting away on an inflatable tube. Witnesses reported seeing both Figueiredo and the girl struggle before they both entered the water. Although the girl was rescued, Figueiredo went under and his body was recovered by rescuers around 9:30 p.m.
