A brave Illinois father died after jumping into the Mississippi River in an attempt to save his drowning older son — and one of their serene final moments together was bittersweetly captured on camera.
Malik Williams, who welcomed his second child just two weeks ago, was fishing with his family at Ben Butterworth Park in Moline, Illinois, on Tuesday, when his 6-year-old son, Jaden, fell into the water.
“Malik’s first instinct was to save his baby, so he jumped in not knowing how to swim trying to do everything he could to save Jaden,” according to the statement on the family’s GoFundMe page.
