A family's fishing trip in Dallas turned into tragedy on Charles LangstonSaturday after a boy fell into the water, and his father jumped in to try and save him, according to reports. Both were swept underwater by the current of a Texas lake.
Noah Carlos, 6, and his father, Fernando Carlos, 26, went on a fishing trip on Saturday afternoon with their family, according to the GoFundMe posted by their family. The boy fell into the water and was swept under. His father tried to jump in to save him, but the current was too strong, and the water also took him.
"What was supposed to be a beautiful day of fishing turned into the worst-case scenario," stated the GoFundMe.
The boy's uncle, Carlos' brother, tried to save them, but the current was too strong, and the two were "washed away," the GoFundMe said.
"I didn't know it was going to turn into this," Jose Carlos told CBS Texas. "I wouldn't have gone fishing. I wouldn't have gone. I feel like it's my fault because I brought him here."
Dallas Fire-Rescue responded to the scene at 1:37 p.m. local time, according to news stations WAFB and CBS Texas. The group was fishing at Mountain Creek Lake in Dallas.
USA TODAY has reached out to the Dallas Fire-Rescue, Dallas Police Department and Texas Parks and Wildlife for more information.
Bodies recovered over the weekend
At 5 p.m. on Saturday, hours after the incident, the man's body was recovered from the water with the help of the Dallas Police Department and the Game Warden’s Office, reported WAFB.
His son was found Sunday, the day after, at around 2 p.m., near Mi Familia Park, which sits on Mountain Creek Lake, reported the Dallas Morning News.
A neighbor called the police department to report they found the young boy's body, according to the GoFundMe.
"Noah was just starting life at just 6 years old," it stated. "He is gone with his dad."
The boy, who loved to dance, play Fortnite and listen to music, was described as "so silly" and "handsome."
Carlos was an "amazing dad, brother, son and uncle," according to the GoFundMe.
"He died as a hero," the fundraiser added.
