A guy in the hall across from me drowned last night in Greenlake... that's all I know. They had a meeting this afternoon for the floor, his family is coming later today... It's still unreal to me.

*sigh* That's all. Thanks for listenin'.

<< wow that sucks dude! :( >>



It hasn't hit me yet... he was a really nice guy, too. Always smiled and said hi, or nodded when he saw you... active, too.

It's hard to imagine what's going through my RAs' heads right now.... it's so tough. There wasn't any alcohol involved, he knew how to swim... it was just a freak accident, I guess.

I'm thinking that's what happened. He appeared to be physically healthy.

Are they sure it wasn't a suicide?

I think he was with a few friends... they had thought he was joking, apparently.

<< i saw it on the news last night on Q13 >>



Wow... yeah, I don't have a TV... I don't think many people on our floor knew last night... wow.

It's so hard to lose a resident like that...I can't imagine what it must have been like for the six UW students that died last year (in a plane crash)...

<< sorry to hear that, drowning in my opinion is the worst way to go. >>



I would go with being burned alive, but drowning is pretty high on the list also.
