A 21-year-old dad-of-one died from a heart attack after jumping into a river to try and save his dog, an inquest has concluded. Ryan Wells, also known as Ryan Best, was walking his three dogs along the River Weaver in Northwich with his girlfriend Georgia Garnett and her brother Ray during the early hours of March 28, 2020.
When they were by the river near Weir Street at around 4.40am, one of the three dogs 'excitedly' jumped over a low fence and into the water.
After losing sight of him, Ryan went in after the dog. Georgia saw him struggling and bravely jumped in after him. She then got into trouble too and her brother tied the three dog leads together, which Georgia held onto until emergency services arrived, CheshireLive reports.
