Tragedy in Mülheim: Essen Footballer Rescues Man from the Rhur River
In a heart-wrenching incident that took place in Mülheim/Essen, local footballer Soheib Benhamza, a player for SG Essen-Schönebeck, displayed remarkable bravery by attempting to rescue a woman and her companion who had fallen into the Ruhr river.
The incident occurred at the Schlossbrücke or the yacht harbor in Essen, where the woman tragically lost her life after jumping into the river. Benhamza was in a rowing boat on the Ruhr with two friends when they witnessed the woman and her companion jump from the bridge.
Benhamza and his friends managed to rescue the woman's companion, but the woman did not resurface and remained motionless underwater, in danger of drowning. Initial resuscitation attempts on site were unsuccessful, and the woman later died in the hospital.
Olaf Rehmann, Benhamza's coach, paid tribute to him on the SGS homepage for his rescue actions on the Ruhr. Rehmann plans to approach this situation with the greatest sensitivity, expressing pride in Benhamza's actions and hoping he can process the traumatic experience.
SG Essen-Schönebeck is also keeping a close eye on Benhamza's psychological state in the coming weeks, acknowledging the emotional toll such a harrowing incident can have.
