HUDSON, S.D. (AP) — Family members say a 10-year-old boy who died in the Big Sioux River in South Dakota saved one of his younger siblings who had fallen into the water.
Lincoln County sheriff’s officials say the body of Ricky Lee Sneve was recovered Saturday night.
His mother, Nicole Eufers, tells the Argus Leader that Ricky was out on the river with his dad and siblings when several fell into the river.
Eufers says Ricky jumped in to save his sister Chevelle and got her to shore, but when his father and siblings turned around, Ricky was missing.
The boy’s father, Chad Sneve, said his son was the type of boy to do anything for anyone.
