lifejacket-less fisherman drowns on red cross national lifejacket day

May 16th, 2008 · 1 Comment

From the Ottawa Citizen:

The victim, who was not wearing a life-jacket, was fishing with a friend when the boat capsized, Const. Fournel said.

“It was a fishing day for them, and for some reason, they rolled the boat and both of them ended up in the water.”

The survivor, who was wearing a life-jacket, swam to a nearby island and summoned other boaters for help.

[…] Yesterday was also Red Cross National Lifejacket Day.
