He probably hit his head and got knocked out cold. I had an uncle drown that way, except he was in a car that went into the water.

If you would have read this better it says "A Lafayette County man" Read before you make comments.

If he was from Darlington, he is from Lafayette County. Glen Haven is in Grant County, but Darlington is not.
