what a way to go. at 1:40 AM, I wonder if he had been drinking? Sad to see someone die for a handbag. I wonder if it was alligator skin.

About 60 percent of Americans cannot swim. And in other countries, the percentage is MUCH higher.

This incomplete story leaves more questions unanswered than answered. Whose handbag? How did it get into the lake? Why would anyone go into a lake looking for something at 1:40 a.m.? Sounds to me like someone was drunk out of their minds or so high on something they thought they were a porpoise ?

For your info it was his wife's purse that he was going after. I served 4 years with this guy 1 year over in the middle east. He was one of the most honest and caring people I knew. He was one of the best friends a guy could have. How dare you make comments about something you know nothing about. He just got married and just had a baby. How do you think his wife would feel reading this? Have some friggen compassion nobody is perfect!

you can all say what ever the fuck you want but I know Dc. Out of respect for his wife and His son you are all wrong. He did not get pushed. It was a man made lake that you walk into. He was swimming looking for his wifes purse. It just crazy how you people havve No compassion for somebody morning the loss of her husband that she loved so much and the father of her son. If nobody has anything nice to say dont say anything at all. He was a good guy and and would have done anything for his wife and son. He did have 3 wonderful kids and they will be missing a great father. And his wife is mourning terrible right now! How rude and disrespectful can some people be.
