"Just a tragedy": Officials say Good Samaritan, 14-year-old boy die at McKinley Beach

The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office says a "good samaritan" died while trying to save two teenage boys at McKinley Beach this weekend.

Authorities say a 50-year-old man went in to help two 14-year-old boys who were struggling in the water on Saturday.

Only one of the boys survived.

Last month, a 19-year-old man died trying to save two children from the water also at McKinley Beach.

That's when the Milwaukee Fire Department said water rescues were already up for the year.
