Man who apparently tried to rescue dog from hole dies
PHILADELPHIA – A man who apparently tried to rescue a dog that fell into a hole in a Philadelphia park has died.
Police say emergency responders were called to Fairmount Park Wednesday afternoon and found the 72-year-old man partially inside the roughly 2 1/2-by-6-foot (0.61-by-1.83 metre) hole in a grassy area.
Authorities say he was apparently trying to rescue his dog after the animal fell into the hole. He was pronounced dead shortly after he was found.
KYW-TV reports police say that after the man’s body was removed from the hole, the victim’s dog was found dead.
