A day on Lake Tahoe turned tragic late Monday afternoon at Sand Harbor State Park when a 41-year-old New York man died after he tried to save his son, who was struggling to swim on the lake’s choppy water.

Martin Simmons, 41, died Monday around 5:45 p.m. after Washoe County Sheriff’s Office deputies say he jumped into the water after his young son became distressed from a leg cramp. Joe Kubo, the coroner in Incline Village, said Simmons was a New York City firefighter.

Rest in Peace Brother!
