Double tragedy as carer dies trying in vain to heroically rescue man he was looking after from freezing canal

A carer died as he tried in vain to rescue a man he was looking after from a freezing canal - who also lost his life. The tragedy was revealed today (Wednesday) as the family of Aaron Ritchie, who had special needs, paid tribute to him.
Police believe Aaron, 49, was walking along the towpath of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in Wigan when he fell in. His carer then went into the water to try and rescue him.
Emergency crews were called to the scene at 2.15pm yesterday (Tuesday) after being told two men had entered the water at Crank Wood Canal, in Abram, Wigan, and got into difficulty.
The men were recovered from the water by specialist divers during a huge emergency response. Medics battled to save them, but both men sadly later died in hospital.
Aaron's carer has not yet been named by police.
In a statement Greater Manchester Police said: "The next of kin of Aaron’s carer, a 60-year-old man, have been informed of his death. Their deaths are not being treated as suspicious and police are continuing to establish the circumstances behind their deaths. A scene remains in place at the canal."
In a statement, Aaron’s family paid tribute to him: “It's come as a complete shock to us as a family surrounding the tragic accident of what happened on Tuesday afternoon. Aaron was a loveable character who made a big impression on everyone who knew him.
“Aaron had special needs and he loved the outdoor life and as long as he had his puzzles, laces and spinning tops he was happy. Aaron is surely going to be missed by us as a family.”
“We would like to pass on our sincere condolences to his carers family and a special thank you to the emergency services who attended trying to save them.”
