Husband: Wife regained consciousness after one son's rescue
LIHUE, Hawaii (AP) _ The husband of a woman who tried to save her two sons from the rough waters off the island of Kauai says she momentarily gained consciousness before she died.
Jennifer White of Gunnison died yesterday.
On Saturday, the 32-year-old pulled her eight-year-old son, Aaron White, out of the ocean when a strong current swept him away.
She was injured and had to be rescued herself when she went back in the water after her nine-year-old son, Tyler White. He's still missing.
Chris White says his wife awoke long enough to know two of her children had survived.
He says maybe she went to be with Tyler so he wouldn't be alone.
Rescuers stopped actively searching for Tyler yesterday. They were also looking for a 17-year-old boy who also went missing on the same day in a separate incident.
