In a tragic turn of events, Anthony Canty, a lottery winner and local hero, has lost his life in a suspected hit-and-run incident in Essex. The 30-year-old, who won £1 million in the EuroMillions draw in May 2020, was involved in a collision with a black Ford Ka while cycling in Tiptree on May 21.

Canty, a key worker, gained recognition for his heroic actions during the first COVID-19 lockdown. He saved the life of a police officer who had a heart attack by performing CPR until the officer was airlifted to the hospital. Canty's selfless act demonstrated his dedication to helping others.

Tragically, Canty's life was cut short when he was struck by a car while cycling. He was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries four days later. The incident has left the community in shock, as Canty was well-known and admired for his courageous actions.

An 18-year-old suspect was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, driving while unfit, and failing to stop. The suspect allegedly fled the scene, leaving Canty critically injured. The investigation is ongoing, and police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with footage of the incident to come forward.

Canty's story serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of recognizing everyday heroes. His legacy will live on through his courageous actions and the lives he touched.
