This goes to Cyrils coment they were not drinking at all it was a fishing trip not a party they died because they were in the water for to long and the 2 that died were fit and healthy but never had enough fat on their bodys to sustain the cold they both risked their lives to save the others shaun could have easily swam away to shore but he wanted to remain to make sure the rest of them were ok i know this as shaun is my brother inlaw and we are finding it hard to cope with this huge loss and comments like urs are pathetic and insensitive disrespectfull to my family.

I would like to know why two fit healthy men died of hypathermia when the ladys etc survived. were they better dresses or drunk less, there must be a reason
