Hero dad who 'would give you the shirt off his back' died after saving six people

A "hero" dad who saved the lives of six people has died suddenly.

Lewis Mulhearn died on January 21, two years after he and his fishing crew were blown up by a WWII bomb. The 39-year-old was the captain of the Galwad Y Mor vessel, which was hit with explosives 37 miles off the coast of Skegness.

The dad, who grew up in Skelmersdale until the age of nine, saved the lives of all six members of his crew, despite sustaining numerous horrific and life changing injuries of his own. His injuries included a blow to the head, three broken vertebrae, a broken sternum, knee damage, a broken orbital bone and multiple face lacerations.
