The Deets

Okay, so here's the sitch: Last night, a dude from Ottawa, only 20 years young, straight up drowned in the St. Lawrence River near Gananoque. Big yikes. Apparently, he fell off a boat. No cap, he wasn't wearing a personal flotation device, so things went south real quick.

The police, fire department, and rescue squad were all on the scene, but it was too late. They pronounced him dead right there. They're not dropping his name out of respect. It's all under investigation, and they're doing a postmortem to figure out all the deets.

This is even more sus because there have been other drownings in the area recently. A 25-year-old drowned in Otter Lake, and a baby passed away in the St. Lawrence River. Like, what is going on?!

For real though, this is a reminder to be careful around water. Always wear a life jacket. It's not worth risking your life for. Stay safe out there, besties. If you have any info about what happened, hit up the OPP.
