On Monday, the Houston Police Department announced that the body had been identified as that of Miguel Calzada, who was 23 years old.
After teams had been looking for Calzada since Wednesday, his body was located on Friday after they had continued their search.
According to the police, Calzada entered the water to save two children under the age of 13 who had gotten too close to the edge of the bridge at Almeda and MacGregor and fallen in.
“He put his life in danger to save these children. It is fitting to call him a hero. In an earlier report, Cmdr. Spears stated that the individual “did everything that he could.”
“The individual who ultimately saved these children’s lives did so. He is a worthy candidate for the title of hero.
The authorities reported that high water levels decreased on Friday, making it easier for dive crews to locate him during the search.
