Man drowns attempting to rescue already-rescued girlfriend

Story here. Read this one carefully. This is pretty damned suspicious. Excerpt:

'Authorities say the Tennessee River's current was swift when 25-year-old Christopher Heaton jumped in the water to rescue his girlfriend.

Heaton, of Jasper, Tenn., had driven to Bridgeport, Ala., to meet his girlfriend Tuesday evening. He arrived at their meeting place near a boat ramp to see her car sinking as it was swept down the river, said Jackson County Chief Deputy Rocky Harnen. Witnesses told police Heaton immediately dived into the water.

But the woman -- whom police haven't named -- escaped from the car and was helped from the water by fisherman at a ramp only 20 yards away, Harnen said.
...

Family members said in an obituary notice that Heaton believed a small child was trapped in the car. Investigators found a child's car seat in the vehicle when it was pulled from the river.

Harnen said investigators don't know why the woman drove her truck to the edge of the boat ramp.

He said the woman told police she saw Heaton jump into the river but couldn't tell if he saw her in the water.'
