I think the age factor did bother me a bit, and the fact that his death could have been prevented if his friends were paying attention and using good judgement. They left (in their boat) the place where he disappeared. Apparently they told police they thought he swam to shore. If they had just stayed there and looked for him or called for help he might have been rescued in time. I think that they were afraid of getting in trouble. It's really sad. Alcohol causes a lot of problems around here.
There have been 3 drownings this summer, in that lake alone. Can't say if all of them were alcohol related, but they probably were.
Alcohol + swimming = not a good idea.
