As usual, the news media make up their own versions. I see one, where he is up
to his shoulders in water. Head stiicking out of the water. Will we see a followup
to hear the final verdict on the cause, probably not. He seemed to go through the same

with any electrical knowledge would have warned of the procedure. He should
not have had a wired mic, but having mics double insulated sounds like a good idea.
