A family from Bellerose, New York was vacationing in the Hudson Valley. The family went swimming in White Lake at approximately 10 a.m. Tragedy struck the Long Island family around 2 p.m.

On Sunday, August 28, at approximately 2:15 p.m., New York State Police from the Liberty barracks responded to White Lake in the town of Bethel for a report of three people who went underwater and failed to resurface.

Around 2 p.m., 34-year-old Afrid Haider disappeared into the lake. 18-year-old Basir Amin jumped in to save him, but he also disappeared. That's when 21-year-old Nasrin Amin jumped in to save her brother and brother-in-law.

"We were just knee-deep in water, suddenly my brother-in-law disappeared, and my brother Basir jumped in to save him. He also disappeared. My younger sister, Nasrin, jumped in after them to help and was struggling as well," Forhad Ahmed wrote in a GoFundMe. "We noticed something was wrong, and I rushed in immediately with a water board. I tried to grab them to hold the board, but I was dragged down into the water myself. After a minute, which felt like hours, I got back up trying to get air."
