It's not big news 30 miles south, I do know that. I hadn't heard about it at all. Unfortunately, there's one heck of a lot of water up here, and drownings are, sadly, not uncommon. They were in the Sound, and the water is extremely cold there, which means people die more quickly than those who have trouble in the warmer waters of the lakes. A woman drowned a couple of miles from my house a week ago, and it didn't even make the newspaper, although I saw it in the "Lights and Sirens" section on the newspaper's website.
There's an interesting inconsistency of sorts in that article. They're not calling the death suspicious, yet they don't know where the truck belonging to his parents is. That's rather strange. You'd think someone would know, because the assumption is that the young man was driving it.
Why don't you e-mail the person who wrote the story? The reporters here are usually quite responsive, so it would be worth writing to see if there are more details available.
