Czech drowns in Austria trying to help children

A Czech citizen drowned in Austria's Wolfgangsee Lake on Thursday when he tried to help four children out of the water because of an approaching storm, Austrian public radio and television (ORF) reported.  The children were on a paddleboard but the waves were carrying them away. The forty-two-year-old father swam to them but suddenly disappeared in the water. His body was later retrieved by emergency crews. The children were brought to safety by other swimmers.
