This is horrible and sad but I have to say this, I’m sorry this can not be blamed on Fay, this is blamed on stupidity, unless he was swimming b/c of a flood and drowned that way, but I assume that was not the case since he was in a lake. PEOPLE PLEASE, IF THE WATER IS ROUGH, PLEASE BE SMART AND DO NOT GO SWIMMING IN IT.
