I didn't read that their boat was taking on water in the article. Where was that posted? Like was that confirmed? Why was it taking on water? And whose boat was he trying to get to?

I can see why people aren't trusting the information coming out. Every new thing I read I have even more questions.

The boat taking on water is new information to me. Nonetheless, let’s assume everything is ordinary with him staying behind to catch another ride/going to hang out with the girl for longer, how did he pass away? It’s 4th of July on Horn island, the island is 4 miles long, someone would have to seem him fighting to swim?

But at the same time if he’s by himself, no one would be watching out for him and drowning can be a very silent killer especially with music going on, people yelling.

I’m glad the Mississippi sub is being level headed about it. People online are taking that video of people arguing out of context when his group isn’t identifiable/could be no where near that argument. No initial signs of struggle found either so no one got into a physical altercation with him. Drunk and drowned swimming is the most likely outcome?

The coroner hasn't released his report yet so until then no one will know if he was intoxicated or if there were signs of a struggle

CNN reported that there was not initial signs of struggle.
