A Detroit fire sergeant disappeared after diving into a river to help three young swimmers in distress. While the three girls were pulled to safety, the firefighter’s daughter, standing on the banks of the river, realized that her father was missing and called 911.
The body of Sergeant Sivad Johnson, 49, was recovered from the Detroit River by rescue crews on Aug. 22 after six hours of searching, over 12 hours since the sergeant went missing.
