Let's see, a 17 year old teenager heads to Loch Raven Reservoir with his girlfriend (cue Billy Joel's "The River"). Apparently, he cannot swim, cannot tread water, nor float on his back (elementary backstroke anyone?).
What does he do?
He squeezes past the plethora of "No Swimming, Dangerous Area" signs and heads to the water. A ledge gives way and he ends up drowning in 7 feet of water after almost pulling his GF under and failing to grab hold of a fisherman's line who witnessed the event nearby.
