Man Drowns After Three Attempts and Dog Attacks

Henry P Turpin aged 32 died after drowning himself in the old Pennsylvania canal at Steelton Pa following two suicide attempts. A bull terrier accompanied him as two rescuers Edward McCord and Frank Magnellia were repeatedly bitten by the dog while trying to reach Turpin. Neighbors eventually called police. Turpin made a final fatal jump as the dog hampered rescuers. Officers fired to drive away the dog and Turpin was dragged ashore dead. The dog attacked rescuers during the attempts. The incident closes with Turpin’s death and ongoing concern about the dog’s behavior.
