Family pay tribute to selfless hero' who died trying to save two people from sea
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"A man who died trying to save two people stuck in the sea off the East Yorkshire coast has been named by his family, who called him a selfless hero. Mark Ratcliffe, 67, was pulled from the sea near Withernsea on Friday after being found unconscious in the water. He was later confirmed to have died. In a tribute, his family said Mr Ratcliffe was "a true selfless hero with a heart of gold, who was so cruelly taken trying to save others"."
The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights to climate change and investigates subjects including Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes parsing facts from messaging, provides on-the-ground reporting, and forgoes paywalls while relying on donations to fund journalists. A local tragedy occurred off the East Yorkshire coast where 67-year-old Mark Ratcliffe was pulled unconscious from the sea near Withernsea and later died after attempting to save two people. A 45-year-old woman's body was recovered and searches continue for another missing person, with HM Coastguard and emergency services leading the response.
