user123 DUH... did you consider the story may have been updated from when some of us first read it??? It started as another possible drowning victim on a lake, who may have been saved he had a life jacket on.

My brother died the same way, saving a friend from drowning, only to be taken by the strong current. It was in the Detroit River back in 1985. Very ,very sad... The family has my condolences.

First of all if you read it properly there was a strong current as well, so I doubt they were fishing on a dock right next to a strong current. Their boat must have drifted near it. It's most likely another life jacket issue.

Duh, Did anyone consider they may have been fishing from shore or on a dock? Why would you wear a life jacket on shore or on a dock. I did not read where a boat was involved.

Such a tradegy. My prayers goes to the families. No matter what has happened, we must keep the family uplifted in prayer and let them know people still care.

mossyoak If he had a life jacket on, he would still be alive.

now don't judge him. He may have had a life jacket on and was completely sober.

Tragic ending but, when are boaters going to learn what life jackets are for.
