What struck me the most from the spate of stories and obituaries was a comment from an unnamed marina employee in the LaDa Sun. "His wife has been walking back and forth along the road by the lake for months, scanning the water through binoculars, looking for any sign of him. So, at least his resurfacing may bring her some solace."
As I understand, falling from a boat into cold water triggers an automatic gasp for air, except you are already under water, so you get water in your lungs and quickly drown. So, if the situation ever happens to anyone, maybe try keeping one's mouth closed and holding it closed with a hand until you resurface.
No ill will intended by me, and I'm sorry for his accidental drowning. It can happen to anyone who goes out on a boat.
