Fears 'hero dad' drowned after jumping into Lake Garda to save son on holiday

A search is under way to find "hero" dad who jumped into a lake to save his son during a family holiday. The 51 year old, Aran Chada, from Leicestershire, was on holiday in Italy when the family decided to hire a boat on Lake Garda on Friday, July 22.

His teenage son had got into difficulty whilst swimming in the lake and Mr Chada leapt into the lake to save him. He managed to drag the 14 year old back to the boat where his mum pulled him aboard, but then the sales director struggled for breath and slipped beneath the surface of Italy's largest lake, reports The Daily Mirror.

Mr Chada is a company director in the oil industry and lives with his family in a village near Loughborough, Leicestershire. He had been celebrating his birthday with his partner, Holly Mosley, 39, his son and daughter.
