'Dolphins carry man's body to shore' - Fourth of July drowning, Louisiana

Witnesses to a Fourth of July tragedy at Grand Isle, Louisiana, say a drowning victim's body was carried ashore by dolphins, according to the Mail.

The body of Arturo Polanco Morales, 47, of Denham Springs, was found a few feet from the shore. He was caught in currents while trying to save a girl who fell into the sea from rocks while fishing.

Mr Morales drowned, but the girl and another man, who also jumped in, survived.
