## Summary

A teacher died after jumping into Lake Macbride in Iowa to try to save a 10-year-old pupil who had fallen into the water during a school trip. The pupil also died, and the incident has been described by his father as an act of heroism by the teacher.

Hannah Jorgensen, 24, was accompanying 14 children from Borlaug Elementary on 22 September when Ahmed Osman slipped on rocks near a spillway. She told the other pupils to call 911; one used her phone while another sought help from a bystander, who also entered the water but could not rescue them. Jorgensen’s body was recovered that afternoon, while Osman’s was found the following day; the investigation is ongoing.
