A California man died last week while he was heroically trying to save three dogs from a partially frozen lake.
The tragedy occurred on Thanksgiving morning in Meyers, Northern California, which lies near South Lake Tahoe, when David Schmidt was taking three dogs for a walk, the El Dorado County Sheriff’s office said in a statement on Saturday.
Two of the dogs belonged to Schmidt, and one was a friend’s pet, South Tahoe Now reported.
It is believed that while walking the dogs along Lake Baron, one or multiple of the pets fell into the icy water and Schmidt, 39, entered the frigid water to rescue the animals.
Sadly, he did not survive.
Officers from the sheriff’s office and the Lake Valley Fire Department responded to a report of a possible drowning around noon on Thursday, finding the dogs and men’s outerwear was found floating in the lake.
Fire Capt. Perry Quinn told KTXL that they found two of the pups in the water. It was not clear how long the dogs had been in the water had been there which shows “how resilient the dogs” are.
“They, potentially, could have been in the water for an hour or more, we’re not sure. They were still alive and paddling when we got there,” he said.
All three dogs were recovered safely from the lake and were taken to a local vet for treatment, the sheriff’s office said in its statement.
Schmidt’s body was found later on a different part of the lake using a ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle), the sheriff’s office said.

“There were no signs of foul play and all signs indicate that this was a tragic accident,” the sheriff’s office said. “Next of kin notifications have been made.”
Lake Baron will get thick enough to safely cross and even ice skate on later on in the winter, but Sacramento station KTXL reported that when Schmidt was there, it was still at least two inches away from being able to safely cross.

Quinn urged anyone else who was going near the lake to “never be out there alone.”
“You know, go near the ice with a partner,

Khloé Kardashian has already started decorating her house for Christmas and her daughter, True Thompson, is wasting no time in spreading the holiday cheer.
The reality star, 35, shared several adorable videos of her 1-year-old looking at the festive decorations around the house on Tuesday, capturing a sweet moment between True and one of the ornamental animal animatronics in her home.
In one clip posted on Kardashian’s Instagram Story, True can be seen wandering over to a white reindeer animatronic by a fireplace in their home. As the moving statue slowly tilts its head down, True grabs the stuffed animal by its snout and plants a sweet kiss on its nose.

Kardashian also shared a photo of her holiday decorations on her Instagram Monday, posting a picture of True next to a fuchsia Christmas tree.
“Merry Christmas everyone!! We starting decorating our house yesterday and @jeffleatham surprised True with this beautiful pink tree,” she captioned the picture. “It’s safe to say that True loves it!!! Thankful and blessed beyond words!”
A source told PEOPLE in November that while Kardashian will be spending a lot of time ex Tristan Thompson — with whom she shares True — in the coming weeks as they celebrate the holidays as a family, it doesn’t mean they will be rekindling their romance.
“It’s hard not to admire Khloé,” the source said. “She decided that she was going to be in a good place with Tristan because of True, and she really is. She refuses to be bitter and dwell on the past.”
“Tristan still tries to date her, but she doesn’t seem interested,” the source added. “She seems very happy the way things are. She loves just being a mom and focusing on work.”

Victoria Beckham‘s new beauty product is just the thing that will “spice up” your medicine cabinet.
The fashion designer recently debuted her new beauty line, Victoria Beckham Beauty, in September and its new Augustinus Bader Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer has one very special fan.
“It’s about making our women and men feel like the best version of us. David is obsessed with this cream,” Victoria said about her husband of 20 years, David Beckham. “So not only is it inclusive just for us women, but this, this works for men, as well, for sure.”
Victoria was speaking on a panel presented by Violet Grey, with skincare guru, Dr. Augustinus Bader, and her CEO, Sarah Creel, moderated by Cassandra Grey.
During the talk, Victoria explained that she created her line to be a “beauty brand of the future” that people could use to “be kind to ourselves, and kind to the environment,” she added.
Beckham, 45, partnered with Augustinus Bader, a professor at Leipzig University, on the just-launched priming moisturizer, after discovering Bader’s products through one of her celebrity friends.
“Melanie Griffith gave us at Eva Longoria’s wedding in Mexico,” Victoria said. “And I honestly swear by products and I swear by ours and that is honestly all I’m using on my skin right now.”
The former Spice Girl is known for her flawless appearance but she doesn’t subscribe to the heavy makeup trends. With her beauty brand she wanted to do something different. “We wanted to highlight our features. But see the skin that we have, as well as opposed to using makeup as a camouflage,” she explained.
That also aligns with how she approaches growing older. “I love how getting older feels,” she said. “I think you feel more confident I feel comfortable in my own skin. I’m not trying to change who I am. I’m just trying to be the best version, look the best version of myself.”
