A 10-year-old Tennessee boy died this week after trying to save his sister who fell into a frozen pond behind their home.

The child was pronounced dead at a hospital following the incident in Millington, Tennessee. His pastor, Stacey Stilgenbauer of Leawood East Baptist Church, identified him as Benjamin Luckett.

Abigail Luckett, who is 6 years old, now seems to be doing well after being taken off a ventilator.

Stilgenbauer said both children and another brother were playing near a pond when Abigail slipped into its frigid waters.

One brother ran for help and their father, Robert, was able to bring Abigail to safety, he says. But he couldn’t get to Benjamin in time.

The church is now helping raise money for the family’s funeral and medical expenses.
