The Reindeer dumped Santa??? Seriously, I hope whomever it is , is found soon otherwise in these temperatures…!!!
So sad. Hope are found. Praying for the families.
Do folks usually go into the waters this time of year?
Probably crabbing and had issues with their boat.
They were in the hot part of the ocean!
Yeah I believe that is hypothermia.
Poor family. Missing man has lots of family, grandkids and friends. He lost a son some years back. Missed his son terrible. RIP go be with your boy.
Y’all do realize the ocean’s temperature is pretty much the same year around right? so as long as the weather is nice outside, it’s no more dangerous going in this time of year then any other time. It’s always dangerous, but so is driving a car.
Been consuming enough of your handle to lose emparhy?
Such sad news.im glad they recovered his body.may he R.I.P.prayers to the family
Heartbreaking news, my condolences to his family and friends.
