Tragic situation.  I've read many of these reports and too few mention if a PFD was being worn.  The media needs to get this information, just as they do when there's a car wreck.

Ageed on the reporting.  Reading through the lines though, if they were dragging for the body, meaning that it was under water, he either:

1) wasn't wearing a working PFD.
2) became entrapped under water.

It would be nice if the reporter actually investigated enough to determine if it was easily preventable by wearing a good PFD or not.
