The search ended tragically Sunday in Shelby County for a man who was swept away Friday afternoon while trying to rescue a child in the Wolf River.
Authorities say the body of 31-year-old Thaddeus Smiley was found Sunday afternoon about a half-mile from where he and his brother entered the water to rescue the child. The brother made it back to the beach with the child, but Thaddeus Smiley never resurfaced.
Mr. Smiley is the nephew of Memphis City Councilman JB Smiley.
