According to Irish Mirror, a friend of Ricky's, a teenage girl, got into the water and was almost drowning when Ricky and another female friend jumped into the pond to try to save her. The other teen girl who jumped in to help also now had difficulties in the pond, and it was up to Ricky to save both girls. Which he did. Paramedics were called and all three teens were taken to the hospital. The two girls survived, but Ricky died the next day.
Ricky Osagie was a teenage soccer sensation whose dream was to represent Ireland, his distraught father, Kelly Osagie told the Sunday Irish Mirror. He said Ricky was a hero because he knew he was risking his life when he went into the water as he couldn’t swim.
"He was trying to help someone else.That’s what happened. My son died a hero. He went in and then that was it. My son is gone but a girl is alive because of him. He always smiled and was happy all the time. He was such a fantastic footballer. We have trophies everywhere in the house. Ricky was going to play for Ireland, that’s what he said he was going to do. He had so many friends. He is a hero, a real hero. I want the world to know what my son did. He was a man.”He really is a hero! Rest in peace 'lil man. Such a sad story!

Great Kid. Rest in peace hommie
RIP Brave Boy: What I don't understand is that why do people who kindly try to help those drowning in a pool always end up to be the one who lose their lives.
This happens a lot here in the UK.
Can some one please be kind to explain.... It is a spiritual thing?
Sad though, but there is a lesson to be learnt. You went in to save and this you have achieved. U r an HERO indeed! RIP Rick
Rest in peace young boy. African parents we read about this drowning issue too often, can we all please please avoid this tragedy by making it priority to learn how to swim as a life skill. Teach our kids and ourselves how to swim, it is now important.
Oh ricky your a Wonderful boy, a hero, God will reward u, and I pray u make heaven, RIP ricky

Oh Ricky, your story was quite touching. A soul was saved here on earth and another gained in Heaven. His short life was blown away just like a candle in the wind. Farewell little angel, you've played your part here on earth even though it was short. We're consoled by the fact that we shall still see your lovely face someday! Take heart, all the heart broken especially the parent and close friends. He was indeed a HERO !!!
So sad..what a hero, GOD bless u soul!....RIP little Angel
