A father who saw two people struggling in a river tragically lost his life after jumping in to save them. He successfully rescued both swimmers before suffering a cardiac arrest. He later became an organ donor, saving the lives of five more people.
On 24 May 2026, Rushabh Patel, 28, was enjoying a picnic with his family in Newport Pagnell, Milton Keynes, when two people from the group got into difficulty while swimming in the River Great Ouse at a popular open water spot known locally as "The Beach."
Without hesitation, he jumped in. Their lives were saved, but in the process of rescuing them, Rushabh suffered a cardiac arrest and drowned.
He was airlifted to Milton Keynes University Hospital, where doctors worked tirelessly for days to save him.
Tragically, despite every effort, he passed away on 28 May 2026.
His wife Mili and their 18-month-old daughter Vrumi were present that day.
In an interview, Mili described the moment: "I just see his head up in the water and I can't explain that feeling."
She also spoke of their daughter waking at 5am every day to look for her father.
His brother Aman said: "Rushabh's final act on this earth was one of extraordinary courage and sacrifice. He gave his life while saving others. He was a hero in every sense of the word."
In d*ath, Rushabh's generosity continued. Through organ donation, he gave five to six people a new chance at life.
The badge on the England shirt is older than nearly every nation playing in this World Cup.
Three gold lions on a field of red, the royal arms of England. Richard the Lionheart, who cut down Saladin's men in the Holy Land, set them on his great seal in 1198. Long before they were a football badge, they were a banner of war.
The same lions flew over English armies for centuries. The standard men marched behind them, fought under them, and died beneath them. At Crécy and Agincourt, the arms of England were carried into the worst of it.
Every king bore them. Edward III quartered them with the lilies of France when he claimed her crown, and still the three lions held the shield. Through the Plantagenet, Tudor and Stuart dynasties, England's lions did not move.
Then, on 30 November 1872, England met Scotland in the first official international football match the world had ever seen. The men who walked out wore three lions on their chest. The banner men once followed into battle, men now carried them onto the field. The same lions and the same England.
That is what these three lions have always done, gathering a people behind one shield. They held men together when the stakes were life and death.
Eight hundred years on, they hold a nation still.
Three lions, one country.

Lost me when added Liverpool tbh
Madrid, United and Barca are in a league above yes
Liverpool have the trophies sure but they’re just nowhere near as big as those globally
Ridiculous… @_DeclanRice should have won this.
Absolute travesty that someone whose team never once competed for the Title wins over a guy whose brilliance all season led us to the Title.
Goal for the rest of the year is to get myself into a position to fight for that British title. For me the most prestigious title in the world and it’s been my dream since I was 10 years olds to own one 🇬🇧
The insane financial evolution of every GTA game 🤛 I spent a lot of hours on the GTA games. They set the new milestone for open world games esp GTA III set in Liberty City. At the time this was my favorite game to play 💯 via Gaming Boss
