Who goes kayaking at 10:30 PM???

[@marianac715]

I know right? Who could see at that time in the dark. Perhaps they were drinking. Such a needless tragedy for all involved.

[@kmeccat]

Boating or kayaking/canoeing in the dark...not a great idea.

[@janblackman6204]

This all sounds very fishy to me

[@bhaz4012]

Yeah I hope they do a thorough investigation

[@terraloft]

Prayers for family. Loved ones. May you find hope in the Lord Jesus Christ, consoling Love
