The cousin of a man who tragically drowned in a lake has spoken about the heart-breaking moment he realised the 'stranger' he was trying to save was in fact his relative. Scott Ferries, 24, died after the kayak he and his friend were in capsized in Loch Doon, Scotland on Sunday, March 27.
Jordan Ferries, 27, had been enjoying a camping trip with his friends, completely unaware his younger cousin was also in the area. After hearing cries for help, Jordan spotted a man struggling in the water.
The software engineer and his friends leapt into action and dragged the person to shore. At the time, Jordan had no idea the man he was trying to save was his cousin due to the condition Scott's body was in.
