Dennis I found the same wording on this at 3 tv sites and one newspaper. We have three local tv stations and do no think ever heard all use the exact same wording inn a story.
It would be good if details were given to help others learn from his tragedy. Sure leaves a lot to wonder about. Still sad. ....
