Dr. Mohamed Swapan, 44, and his wife, Sabrina Ahmed, 40, lost their lives while attempting to save their daughters from a rip current at Conspicuous Beach near Walpole, Western Australia, on December 28, 2024.
The tragic incident occurred when their two daughters became caught in a dangerous rip current. The couple rushed into the water to rescue them but encountered difficulties themselves.

This tragedy comes amidst a series of drownings across Australia during the festive season, prompting authorities to urge beachgoers to prioritize safety and swim at patrolled locations.
