This is a very tragic story of a young man of Bulgarian origin named Pamen Petkov,32, who died at West Wittering last week trying to save a 5 year old girl who was being swept out to sea on a dangerous part of the beach. He rushed to help, although she was nothing to do with him, dived in and rescued the girl but was taken by the current himself. Dreadful tragedy which could have been avoided by people heeding danger notices especially when using infatables.The tide is lethal just at that ...

Dreadful tragedy which could have been avoided by people heeding danger notices especially when using infatables.The tide is lethal just at that part of the beach.I know this is nothing to do with sking etc but in the same paper there were headlines connecting crime and Eastern Europeans-this shows the other side of the coin-this young man was a credit to himself and his country of origin.RIP Pamen.

re: Bulgarian hero
Bulgaria Pete, I copied the name from an article in a national newspaper
I should have known better as a BG name ending with "a" is usual female I believe. Thanks for correcting this.

He is to be honoured with Bulgarias highest award for bravery that a civilian can get.Good for them, perhaps we can also honour him as well, perhaps a George Cross?
