In his last moments, the Australian vacationer who fell into a river in the country made sure his wife did not meet the same tragic fate he did. Dr. Dave Hogbin, of New South Wales, was on a trip with his family in Queensland when a steep riverbank collapsed underneath him and he was pulled into the Annan River. His wife made it down the embankment and tried to save his life, but when he realized she was in danger of being pulled into the river as well, he let go of her arm and went under, the BBC reports. The family says he was taken by a crocodile within moments. Police believe his remains have been found inside a crocodile, but the remains have not yet been identified.
"We were just enjoying a standard day of our holiday and everything just changed within 30 seconds," Hogbin's wife, Jane, says in a News.com.au article written by Hogbin's sister-in-law. "He wasn't doing anything wrong—in fact, he was doing everything right, and this still happened. He saved me—his last act was to not pull me in with him." The family was walking on an embankment about 16 feet higher than the river, out of striking range of crocodiles. It is believed that recent rainfall could have contributed to its sudden collapse. Jane Hogbin says she's grateful their three sons, ages 7, 5, and 2, did not witness their dad's final moments. A GoFundMe has been set up for the family. (More Australia stories.)
