Good Samaritan, 22, dies after pulling two children from Texas river then attempting to rescue their father who tried to save them but is still missing

The body of 22-year-old Casandra Kendrick was found Sunday night in the Guadalupe River near her hometown of Seguin, about 35 miles northeast of San Antonio, according to the Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office.

Kendrick helped the man pull his two children from the river and then tried to save him, but the water kept pushing them downriver, the sheriff’s office said.

Emergency responders stopped their search for the man around 10pm on Sunday but resumed looking for him on Monday morning. They did not identify the missing man.

The 30-year-old father was spending the day Sunday with his three children on the island in the middle of the river, popular for swimming and tubing. Kendrick was also there hanging out with about 20 family members.

At around 5pm, two of the man's sons got caught in the swift current, and the dad jumped into the water to rescue them, reported Seguin Gazette.

Kendrick, who was with the separate group, went after the man and his children to help.

The father was able to grab one of his sons and pass him to Kendrick, who then handed the boy off to another person, according to KENS5.

The father performed the same maneuver with his other child, but then began to struggle in the current.

Both the men and woman eventually disappeared beneath the surface near the FM 1117 bridge, prompting relatives on the island to summon help.

Divers recovered Kendrick's body just before 8.45pm on Sunday.

Family and friends took to Facebook on Monday to mourn Kendrick's death.

'She died saving lives,' one relative wrote. 'What a beautiful soul. Now she will be watching over y’all. So sorry for y’all loss. Prayers to all.'
