Trevor Jordan Tally died attempting to help save Jonah A. and Ann M. Johnson from drowning, Hells Canyon Park, Idaho, June 18, 2009. After Jonah, 6, fell from a dock into Hells Canyon Reservoir, his grandmother, Johnson, 64, jumped into the water after him. Jonah struggled against her, submerging her. Those alerted to the situation and responding included Tally, 21, service technician, who was fishing from a dock 150 feet away. Without removing any of his attire, Tally entered the cold, deep water and swam to Johnson, who was then being aided by a woman whose husband was aiding Jonah. Tally grasped Johnson but submerged with her before releasing his hold. With assistance, the woman returned Johnson to safety on the dock while Jonah likewise was rescued. By then Tally was no longer seen. His body was recovered from the reservoir the following day.
