GARFIELD COUNTY, Utah — A 32-year-old St. George, Utah, man drowned Saturday while saving his young sons from sinking in a cold mountain lake.
Shawn Pederson was in a paddle boat in Upper Barker Lake when he noticed that his sons, ages 5 and 7, were having trouble staying above the water as they swam nearby, according to officials.
Pederson jumped in and kept the boys’ heads above water as he tried to get them into the boat. The boys were rescued by relatives but the father went under the surface.
