Would you feel guilty If someone died in the act of saving you?

There are several scenarios. you are inside a burning house, and your neighbor runs in and saves you life, you survive, he dies of oxygen deprivision and severr burns three days later. You are drowning in some white water rapids, someone jumps in and saves you, but drowns himself.

What made me think of this were the lyrics of "The Ministry of Lost Souls" by a band called Dream Theater. It is kind of hard to imagine, what would you think?

I would feel glad they saved me but I think I would also feel guilty that they didn’t make it. There was a couple in my state, in their 20’s, that recently had tried to cross a rain swollen creek. The vehicle washed down the creek. The husband was able to get out, then saw his wife hadn’t so he went back to try save her, which he did, but before he could get out again, he ended getting washed away and drowned. So sad! When I read that I wondered how that made her feel. I think it would be hard to deal with.

    I would be grateful for them, and sad they died. But guilty? No. If it was their decision to try and save you, they had to be prepared for the dangers involved in the first place. I wouldn’t feel like it was MY fault. But I would mourn them.
