St. Joe Bay Drowning

Post by reel therapy »

Thought I'd pass this sad story along, since I know scalloping in St. Joe Bay is fairly common for members on this forum.

My wife knows the parents and they are absolutely destroyed by this. There was no indication at all of anything being wrong and they just thought that he was resting for a moment. It will be interesting to hear what the autopsy results say was the cause!

Man that has got to be unbelievably hard on the parents. My best wishes to the family. As a father myself I get upset when my daughter falls and scratches her knee. I could never imagine having to deal with something like that.
