Sometimes these boating accidents seem so strange. It's like you really don't know what happened. His boat was found unoccupied. A chair and fishing equipment on a riverbank. It's like he was fishing and maybe his boat started getting pulled by the current and he was trying to retrieve it and drowned in the process.... I don't know... Rest Easy, Jonathan 🕊️
