    A man jumped on Sunday afternoon into the Trinity River in Fort Worth to save a child who was struggling in the water.

    The child was rescued, but the man was taken under by the current and died, authorities said.

    Fort Worth Fire Department divers found the man’s body in deep water several hours after he jumped in about 3:30 p.m. near Gateway Park at Beach Street and East Freeway.

    The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office has not released the name or age of the man who drowned. The fire department said he was middle aged.

    A fire department arson team drone was used in the rescue effort.
