A HERO dad dies after saving his four-year-old daughter from a house fire caused by an explosion in Charlotte, Michigan.
The father was thrown from his house following the explosion but ran back inside to save the little girl, a decision that ultimately took his life.
Jeremy Droscha suffered second and third-degree burns to 60 percent of his body before later dying from his injuries.
“It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Jeremy Droscha due to injuries sustained in a house fire,” read a post from the Eaton County Fairground Facebook page.
“Jeremy was a big asset to our board, but more importantly a great friend to all of us.”
Droscha had served as the vice president of the board, according to the organization. A pancake benefit is being organized to raise money for the Droscha family.
The father’s death was also confirmed by his family in a Facebook post. A GoFundMe page was also created to help the Droscha family cover expenses.
“It is with a heavy heart that I must share Jeremy went home to be with His Heavenly Father just after midnight last night,” wrote Cheryl Pletz, who organized the fundraiser.
