GALVESTON, Texas - Authorities in Texas say a seven-year-old boy is presumed to have drowned after he went missing while at the beach with his family on Tuesday.
The Galveston Beach Control confirmed the likelihood of the child s death late Tuesday, according to local news outlets.
The 67-year-old drowned after he was caught in a rip while swimming at the popular beach. His daughter, Sabrina Hancock, said it was impossible to imagine what life would be like without her father by her side. Dad was his own man, she said. Everyone that knew him felt his energy and he was a force to be reckoned with. He was handsome and had a big twinkle in the eye and was this total contradiction in terms with a magnetic personality. Edouard Hancock sadly died while swimming at Peregian Beach on Sunday. The Beerwah man battled his own demons for more than a decade after living with complications from a brain injury.
