Stein-Palmiere was vacationing with his girlfriend in May 2019, spending the day at Lake Windermere, when her stepsister 10-year-old Peyton Jordan began to struggle in the water. He immediately ran to help, though not a strong swimmer, and ended up saving the girl but sacrificing his own safety and ultimately, his life.
