THE father of a boy who drowned is handing out hundreds of lifejackets in a bid to prevent more tragedies.
Lucas Dobson, six, fell into a river while stepping on to a boat when out fishing with his dad Nathan, 37.
The boy was swept away by the tide and his body was found four days later.
Nathan, a mechanic, has now joined search and rescue expert Peter Faulding, whose team recovered Lucas’s body, to launch a new water safety campaign.
The dad said: “Lucas could swim but it was a one-off day when the tide was so high and so strong. He had no chance.
“Looking back, he should have been wearing a lifejacket.
