Not sure what was going on with that poor guy, but sad nonetheless.

Strange story. What happened to the woman people saw running to the lake?

I think the woman running was just a bystander that had driven by?

They added a bunch of additional details to the WRAL story....

WRAL's Amanda Lamb talked to a woman who witnessed the scene and called 911. The woman had been driving on Lochemere Drive, when she noticed a man stop his pick-up truck and run down towards the lake. He had reportedly seen another woman also rushing towards the lake.

This is the part that I don't get and was never explained.

Also:
Worried about hypothermia – for both the victim and the man who jumped in after him – witnesses called 911.....
makes it sound like there were originally two people. No surprise it's a poorly written story on WRAL.

Yeah, I took that as he saw another woman that had stopped to help rushing toward the lake, but who knows.

Terribly written like you said.

WRAL headline on the sidebar: "New COVID-19 testing site ran by Baptist on Mission opens"

They can't even use correct grammar! Painful!

It sounds like there was a man in his sixties, who was the victim, and three bystanders that attempted to help him.

As JONOV says, sounds like a suicide to me. He went back into the water.

I dunno I'm gonna have to disagree. Everything I read really points to it being a homocide. No doubt.
