Amanda Richmond Rogers is the 45-year-old woman who froze to death in the Eagle River in Alaska after she jumped in to try to save her dog who had fallen into the icy water. This event, which has shocked many people, occurred at the end of last year, but it was not until the end of March that rescue teams confirmed her death when they found her body.

The family said in a statement on Facebook that on December 23, 2023, during the celebration of their 18th wedding anniversary, Amanda and her husband Brian Rogers, along with their two dogs, were taking a walk along the Eagle River . During the walk, one of the pets fell while drinking water, prompting Amanda and Brian to run over to him to try to help him.
Tragically, in the attempt to rescue the dog, the woman fell and was unable to surface.

“She would have made this choice for her dogs and her family again, without a second thought,” the family said.
