POMPANO BEACH - Authorities say a man died after rescuing two boys caught in rip currents off the coast of South Florida.
Meanwhile, lifeguards also rescued more than 25 people at Pensacola Beach Saturday as rip currents pulled them out.
Authorities say 70-year-old Charles Schulze from Washington, D.C., was at Pompano Beach when he saw two boys, ages 9 and 12, struggling in the water after being caught in a rip current. He swam out to them and the boys got to shore safely. Authorities say he never made it back. Bystanders went into the water to pull him out.
Authorities say Schulze was pronounced dead at a hospital.
On Friday, Danny Johnson, 59, of Robertsdale, Ala., was pulled from the surf near Pensacola and pronounced dead at a hospital.
