 Father Of 6 Died After Being Struck By A Wave At The Beach While Playing With His Kids


A father of six has died after a wave struck him on a North Carolina beach and slammed him to the sand, breaking his neck while playing with his three kids.

This was disclosed by the wife after she took to Twitter and Instagram to share the ugly story.

CNN reported that Lee Dingle, 37, was playing on Oak Island's beach with three of his kids Thursday when the wave knocked him to the ground.


According to the wife, The force of the impact broke his neck and made his throat swell so much that his brain was deprived of oxygen for too long to recover, she said.

The report gathered that he died a day later despite the efforts of some heroes, including their kids, to try to save him.

here's what the wife said

My partner, my love, and my home died yesterday after a freak accident.

Lee was playing on the beach with three of our kids yesterday, and an intense wave hit him just right to slam his head into the sand, break his neck, and make his throat swell so much his brain was deprived of oxygen for too long to recover.


Some heroes - including our kids - tried to save him, but it wouldn’t have mattered what they did. His body couldn’t recover from the initial injury. 💔
We met when I was 18 and he was 19, and we’ve been together ever since.

I wasn’t supposed to be saying goodbye at 37. I don’t know how to be a grown up without him, but I’ll learn. I just wish I didn’t have to. 💔.

Details to come about all the things. Please pray for us. And, you know, feel free cuss and smash stuff because God knows I’ll be doing some of that. (And breathing and hydrating and eating and all those self care things because I am worth it and because I have 6 little people to parent.)
