(Fox News) A 10-year-old Tennessee boy has died this week after trying to save his sister who fell into a frozen pond behind their home, reports say.
The child was pronounced dead at a hospital Sunday following the incident in Millington, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office told Fox13 Memphis. His pastor, Stacey Stilgenbauer of Leawood East Baptist Church, identified him as Benjamin Luckett.
“It’s an incredible sacrifice that he was willing to make to save his little sister,” he told WREG, adding that Abigail Luckett – who is 6 years old – now “seems to be doing well” after being taken off a ventilator Tuesday.
