Tragedy at White Rock Lake
The contents of this blog post have been removed. It covered
a man swimming across Sunset Bay from the vicinity of Dreyfus Club at
approximately 6:30pm on Wednesday, April 18, 2012. The blog post ran a
commentary on this man’s swim, as well as a series of pictures.
This evening, we discovered that it had been reported in the
press that an unidentified man drowned at White Rock Lake at approximately
7:00pm on Wednesday evening, apparently near the shores of Dreyfus Club. It has
been assumed by this blog that it was the same man about whom we blogged, and
that in all likelihood he decided to swim back to where he started out earlier
in the evening. Presumably, he had left his clothing there.
Due to the sensitivity of this matter and the tragic event
that subsequently occurred, it was decided to remove the blog post.
We extend our sincere condolences to the family of the drowned man.
