Famous bodybuilder Josh Crane recently died while attempting to save two people from drowning. The incident took place on July 29 at the San Juan rapids in the American River.
Metro Fire of Sacramento reported that Crane spotted two people struggling in the water, and he immediately rushed to help them. However, he lost his life in that process, and his body was recovered the next day beyond the rapids. According to his family, Josh organized a get-together at a river with his friends when some of them were stuck while tubing near the rapids. His sister Jessica revealed,
"There were two females that were stuck on tubes and my brother was on a paddleboard and they were asking for help. So he jumped off his paddleboard, like he would (to) help anybody, and no hesitation, no questions asked, jumped off his paddleboard and jumped in the water and got them out."
Jessica added that her brother was a humble guy, and his close ones knew that he had the biggest heart ever imaginable. She stated that Josh would do anything for anyone. Jessica concluded by saying,
"That's something that I knew that he would do. No matter no matter what. That's the biggest thing that gets me is that a great life was cut short. I know he touched a lot of lives, and he made a lot of great friends and people along the way."
