An Australian dad of three was killed by a crocodile as he tried to prevent his wife from being harmed, his family said.
Dave Hogbin, 40, a doctor from Newcastle, fell into crocodile-infested waters when a riverbank collapsed during a camping trip to Queensland state with his wife, Jane Hogbin, and their three young sons on Saturday.
“Despite being tall, strong and fit, the conditions of the terrain meant Dave was unable to get himself out of the water,” a statement from his family read.

While his wife tried to come to his rescue, she soon began sinking into the riverbank.
