That's tragic. There haven't been any local incidents that I'm aware of but we've got a lot of summer ahead of us. I avoid going out on the water during the summer because of drunken idiots. There have been various incidents with people on jet skis locally over the last few years, drownings and collisions. I'm surprised they haven't killed or injured more innocent bystanders given the reckless way some behave on the things. Drinking and boating is a crappy combination.

Around here. 2 boys electrocuted while swimming between houseboats, father and son drown near the appalachian trail and 3 other drownings. Another near miss when a fisherman got caught in rising water when the hydro turned on. He was floating face down in the river and 2 other fishermen went after him and pulled him out, Got him breathing again, waited for the paramedics and left before anyone could get their name. Anonymous heroes.

Bless them for helping him. The the boys being electrocuted sounds especially grisly. I fully expect between the lakes and the river there will be fatalities as the summer rolls out. It seems so often the victims are young males.
