A 20-year-old man is being praised as a "true hero" after he drowned in the River Thames while trying to rescue a woman who'd fallen from the London Bridge.
Folajimi Olubunmi-Adewole, who went by Jimi, was on his way home from work late Friday when he saw the woman in distress, and didn't hesitate to help, according to a GoFundMe page.
"Not thinking twice after calling the police, convinced he could do something to save her, he jumped in and drowned saving her," the page said. "This is to support the funeral and the rest [is] for post-funeral, as he was [a] hardworking college graduate who at 20 was the family's breadwinner."
