Sydney: A 14-year-old Australian boy who dived 20 m from a bridge into an icy river to save a 70-year-old woman after he spotted a pile of clothes and read a suicide note has been hailed as a hero. Corey Warburton leapt from Grafton Bridge into the Clarence river when he spied the woman floating face down.
Warburton managed to keep the woman afloat for more than 20 minutes while he swam 80 m to the river bank.
