Lynda Carter, 56, went alone to canoeing on the Potomac River in Washington in the afternoon of June 4, shockingly finding a dead woman later identified as Helen Johnstone floating face down in the water.

As she did not bring her hand phone at the time, Carter had to yell to some fishermen and asked them to dial 911 to call EMS responders who later pulled Helen Johnstone's dead body ashore.

The official cause and manner of Johnstone's death is yet to announced as an autopsy is under way. But it is believed she might have committed suicide.

While a lot thought Lynda Carter did a good deed, she herself was quite modest.

"I didn't do anything special. I did what anybody would have done." Carter told the Washington Post.
