66-year-old Missouri man selflessly loses his life saving children struggling in Smithville Lake.
David Moore was enjoying a day on Smithville Lake with friends on a pontoon boat. The peacefulness of the day was interrupted when David noticed a 5-year-old and another individual, who were not wearing life vests, begin to struggle as they were being pulled away from their boat.
David who spent his life as a contractor showed zero hesitation as he plunged into the water to enact a rescue. David, who was not wearing a life vest, was able to recover both individuals and get them back to the boat.
However tragedy struck when the current suddenly began to pull David away. The shocked individuals who witnessed the entire ordeal say "David's head popped out of the water three times before submerging" to not be seen again.
Missouri State Police were able to recover David's body later that day. They are urging everyone on the water this summer to wear a life vest. No matter how good of a swimmer you are; you never know what could happen.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of David Moore who made the ultimate sacrifice for others.
