Missing Angler on Scugog Lake

Rizzo, I'm with you on this one! Obviously I'm hoping for the best, but I drove home around that time last night and could not believe how brutal the winds were! Skies were black as coal and rains too! Geez, we had snow on our back deck yesterday evening!

The last place I would want to be is out on a lake, and in a canoe to boot!

Possibly. Also, with these temps, it will take a long time for a body to float. Water was only 36 yesterday. Its cold.

Got to wonder why you would risk it in a canoe.  When most bigger boats with motors and deep vs are put away, you think you can get out there in a canoe?  The water would kill you in minutes at these temps. 

Sad story, sorry to the family and friends 

Yeah, I do wonder what their reasoning was. It was a very windy, nasty day too.

I always wonder if some of these incidents where intelligent people go out in freezing temps and bad weather, no PFD's in a small craft may be suicide. An accidental death can leave the survivors debt free with many thousands or more in the bank. Hard for insurance investigators to prove otherwise without a note.
