This is so sad, a simple mistake leads to a death like this.

Idk fam. Somethings suspicious. I’m not quite ready to rule out foul play yet.

She didn't wear a life vest. Doesn't really sound suspicious to me.

It was tongue in cheek. A poor attempt at mocking the original tone itt I suppose.

No, but funny enough, that's right across the river from where my Mom lives. It was this...

No reason not to. You don't find it believable?

Unless one is a trained life guard, swimming while supporting someone else, even a child, is very difficult and tiring. Climbing back into a boat from the water also isn’t always easy and might not be something someone could accomplish when exhausted.

This. Then you add in fear/panic as the boat is pulling away and fatigue sets in...just bad all around.

I don’t think there was any foul play involved, but I do find it “odd” her and her son rented a boat alone. Usually people will bring the kids friends and maybe even a parent along. So much could happen out there.

And a boat that in this case sounds like wasn't stationary.
She was probably exhausted like you said.
I could see her having to use what little strength she had left to push her son up while urging him to pull himself up and then being completely spent.
Depending on the conditions of the lake and how long they spent swimming/treading water, hypothermia could also come into play.

That just makes it more odd.
Odd isn't even the right word. It's just insane to go out on the open water alone. Generational fisherman will tell you that's flirting with danger.

I quoted a post of someone basically saying y'all believe this wasn't foul play by saying maybe Wayfair was involved and it got removed.

They were on a lake/reservoir, based on the pics and map size idk if I’d call that open water.

That distinction doesn't matter. Open water just refers to water conditions and the associated risks.
Any body of water where you can't reasonably be expected to swim to shore safely constitutes open water. It doesn't matter if it's a massive artificial lake or the ocean.

Yeah I wasn't posting the Wayfair thing to be disrespectful and I definitely wasn't co-signing. I just stumbled across it and posted it. I should've made that more clear

People prob fish alone on that lake every day. Or lakes that size. It looks like it’s not even a mile wide at the widest, which means a half mile to either shore if you are dead center. Idk if I’d call that massive or someone crazy to go out alone on it with a boat. assuming no current or anything to impede swimming, a half mile swim isn’t really that challenging. The mistake she made was not anchoring the ****ing boat.

I don't know the size of the lake, maybe I think it's bigger than it is but regardless, that's exactly why boating alone is so discouraged. Just one additional person can act as a fail-safe against a potentially fatal mistake.
