An antiques dealer is feared to have vanished after entering the sea to assist a woman in distress during a Christmas Day swim in Devon. Matthew Upham, 63, has not been seen since the incident in Budleigh Salterton, where a major rescue operation was launched on Christmas morning.
Friends reported that Mr Upham went into the stormy waters to help a woman struggling. While several individuals were successfully rescued and either checked by paramedics or taken to hospital as a precaution, two men, aged in their 40s and 60s, remain unaccounted for, according to Devon & Cornwall Police.
