Andrew Powell, 52, heroically attempted to wrestle a crocodile away from his son, who had been attacked while swimming in a remote area. Despite his efforts, Powell tragically succumbed to his injuries, leaving behind a devastated family and community.
In another heartbreaking incident, a doctor from Canberra bravely tried to save his wife from a crocodile attack in Far North Queensland. Dr. Mark Spencer, 55, managed to rescue his wife from the jaws of the crocodile but sustained fatal injuries himself during the struggle.
