Search for hero comes to tragic end

Investigators believe they have recovered the body of the good Samaritan who tried to rescue a father and his young child who were swept away by a strong current in Apollo Beach Friday night.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said they believe crews recovered the body of 27-year-old Kristoff Murray Monday afternoon, though identification is pending through the Medical Examiner's Office.

It all happened Friday at the Apollo Beach Nature Preserve when Murray jumped into the water in an attempt to save a father and a young child as they were swept away in a strong current after wading out in the water.
