Swimmer Rescued After Jumping Off Lighthouse

This is such a sad accident, and so young. My prayers goes out to his family.

It sad, but people are told of the dangers of the water! LISTEN TO THE WARNINGS

this was one of my friends from highschool he graduated already.. but i cant believe this happened =[ he was a great person! its not like he intended this to happen!

Why does it say "Swimmer RESCUED After Jumping Off Lighthouse"?? The kid died in the water -- I don't call that a "rescue".

My prayers go out to his family.

It is every year some young kids get hurt out there, we need to make it safer that they can't jump off the lighthouse anymore. It is so sad I have a 18 year old and my heart goes out to the family and I'm so sorry. I feel very sad. We need to post signs with pictures of all the people who got hurt out there by the beach and the breakwall. maybe have warnings at the docks for boaters and at the stores by the docks. Don't let this happened again. Don't just watch them jump, stop them before it is to late again.

The body was recovered thats all. Rescue was a bad choice of words. At least the kid was found the same day. Takes awhile for a body to bloat up and come up to the surface otherwise.

I live in Chicago,IL.
This was a nephew that I never met. I was just there over a week or so ago and I give his mother (LILLY) my sister, my deepest sympathy and GOD BLESS the rest of the family.

the lake is evil

The loss of a friend is the most terrible feeling in the world. I will never forget the memories.

oops!

Yeah you're right, we should wall up every body of water in the world to prevent people from swimming.

Not to be mean because a person DID die here and all but you can't baby proof everything in the world. I mean at a certain age I think people should be able to use a brain and reason things through. Am I off base here? Common sense, what age does that kick in?

RIP kiddo, you are in a better place now than this cesspool of a planet

true

My thoughts, prayers, and good wishs go to you and your family.

Children, lighthouses are not meant to be used as diving boards. They are beacons of safety. Use them as such.

It's hard to believe out of four people none of them had sense enough to know this was a stupid thing to do.

Perhaps you could contact the idiobama administration. This is exactly the kind of problem that could be solved with stimulus money. They could pay you to stand by the lighthouse and issue warnings to all who enter. You could keep a little binder with the photos, and show them for effect. No reason at all to think that parents should instill some sense into their children, this is clearly the fault of the idiots who built a lighthouse so close to the water.

it toook 45 mintues for them to find him. tihey tried pefroming cpr but he was alredy gone. he was laying there on the hospital bed not moving. joe you will be missed by everybody.
