A father who swam out into the sea to help untangle a seagull from his fishing line drowned and died after an ocean current swept him away, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.

Atlanta area native Stone Romberg was fishing at his home in the Florida Panhandle when he noticed the seagull caught in his fishing line, Fox 5 reported.

The 31-year-old father of two swam out to try and untangle the bird, but his hook and the bird got stuck to his hand while he tried to help. As he tried to swim to shore, an ocean current carried him further out to sea where he tragically drowned.

"Our hearts are broken for everyone who knew and loved him," a GoFundMe set up for his family reads.

Romberg was the manager of chair services at a local condominium complex and "was known by a lot of our owners and guests," according to the GoFundMe.

A Facebook page for his workplace also shared that he will be remembered "for his kind heart, hard work, and willingness to always lend a hand."

• US News & World Report released its list of the best places to retire in 2027.
• Affordability is one of the most important factors for retirees in choosing where to live.
• Texas has six cities in the top 15, but the top city is in the Midwest.

There are a lot of financial concerns surrounding retirement, and choosing where to live might be one of the biggest challenges.

Unless you've managed to stockpile a large sum of money for retirement, the everyday costs of living could factor into your decision to retire altogether.

US News & World Report analyzed over 850 cities based on quality of life, affordability, healthcare, retiree taxes, job market, and population and migration for retirees 55 and older to rank what cities work best for retirees.

Affordability was a key factor in this year's list, as the pathway to a comfortable retirement isn't smooth for everyone.

"It's no secret that affordability is top of mind for Americans this year, which is why US News updated its weighting criteria to better align with what retirees prioritize," US News & World Report assistant managing editor Megan Wood said. "The 2027 rankings reflect key metrics used to highlight the places that best suit retiree needs."

The six factors used when ranking each city came from a survey of Americans 45 and older to determine what mattered most to them when considering where to retire.

The cliché of retiring to Florida still holds true, as two Florida cities ranked in the top 15. But Texas has become an even hotter spot for retirees. While last year's list included three Texas cities, this year's list has six, with two in the top five.

Texas' overall affordability makes it a popular choice not only for retirees but for other generations as well.

"Retirees are seeking a place that gives them a sense of security and comfort as they live out their golden years," Wood said.

While cities in Florida and Texas account for more than half of the top 15, neither city holds the top spot. Below, the best cities to retire in for 2027.

Un gabbiano s’impiglia nella sua lenza da pesca, lui tenta di salvarlo e muore annegato. Siamo a Carillon Beach, circa 35 chilometri a ovest di Panama City, in Florida. Qui William “Stone” Romberg, 31 anni, stava pescando insieme ad alcuni amici quando si è accorto che un uccello era rimasto impigliato nella lenza. I fatti risalgono a domenica 25 ottobre e li racconta People. Romberg ha cercato di liberare il gabbiano entrando in acqua, ma sia l’amo sia l’uccello sono rimasti impigliati nella sua mano. A quel punto tornare a riva è diventato estremamente difficile: la corrente lo ha trascinato sempre più al largo e l’uomo è annegato.

Romberg e la moglie Taylor avevano due figlie, Hadley, 3 anni, e Lainey, 1 anno. Lavorava come responsabile dei servizi sulla spiaggia per La Dolce Vita a Carillon Beach. “Stone era una parte importante della nostra famiglia LDV, ricordato per il suo cuore gentile, il suo impegno nel lavoro e la disponibilità ad aiutare sempre gli altri. La sua gentilezza ha lasciato un segno profondo in tutti coloro che lo conoscevano e ci mancherà moltissimo”, si legge in un post pubblicato sul profilo Facebook dello stabilimento balneare.

Carillon Beach ha definito Romberg “un membro amatissimo della nostra comunità. Siamo davvero impressionati da tutto l’affetto, dalle condivisioni e dalle donazioni che sono state riversate con tanta generosità sulla famiglia di Stone in questo momento così difficile”, si legge ancora nel messaggio, con riferimento alle due raccolte fondi avviate per sostenere la moglie e le figlie.
