Another tragic alcohol-related death. (alcohol is evil shit!)
That really sucks, man. I'm so sorry for your loss.
We're all here to support you.

I guess you're right, but I've just had so many problems with it and so many friends who have as well, I'm just biased.

sorry to hear that man. R.I.P

my condolences man.
My friends and I lost someone Sunday too. There's a dozen of us that ride (motorcycles) together, friends from high school and whatnot. A few of them were out sunday afternoon, and one didn't make it back. He was 21.
I've seen a lot of this the past few years: people dying young, kids I knew and chilled with suddenly gone. I haven't lost a best friend but I know the ones that have, I've seen the grief. I empathize as much as I can with you, and I wish nothing more than for you to find your peace with all this.
I wrote an older, wiser friend of mine about Sunday's events, and this is part of what she wrote back:
"...Meanwhile, we mourn the losses. It is our job to remember the people who leave and to remember the stuff we learn from them while they're here. Aside from that, we are singularly powerless. I think that's a good thing. As long as you can hear them in the back of your head, they stay with you. And as long as they have loosed this mortal coil, they remain as they were when we had them with us.... Remember the good stuff and the valuable stuff. Leave aside the stupidity and the meanness, and get on with your life. Remind yourself occasionally that someday, you will also be the voice in the back of someone's head and make sure what they will hear from you there is of value. Beyond that, be gentle with yourself and secure in the knowledge that you can't hold everyone in the palm of your hand...however much you may want to."
take care.

sorry to hear of your loss.
I lost my best friend (basically my brother) 4 years ago from a brain aneuryism. It hurts now, but it gets easier to handle as time goes on man. Good luck brother.

Sucks man!
He should have remebered that thing about getting cramps.
We all been there in one way or another......
Teddy sniffing glue he was 12 years old Fell from the roof on East Two-nine Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug On 26 reds and a bottle of wine Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old He looked like 65 when he died He was a friend of mine
Refrain: Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died They were all my friends, and they died
G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed They were two more friends of mine Two more friends that died / I miss 'em--they died
Repeat Refrain
Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs Judy jumped in front of a subway train Eddie got slit in the jugular vein And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others, And I salute you brother/ This song is for you my brother
Repeat Refrain
Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof Tony thought that his rage was just some goof But Herbie sure gave Tony some bitchen proof "Hey," Herbie said, "Tony, can you fly?" But Tony couldn't fly . . . Tony died
Repeat Refrain:
Brian got busted on a narco rap He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers He said, hey, I know it's dangerous, but it sure beats Riker's But the next day he got offed by the very same bikers

Charles probably had a few things going against him.
First, he had low bodyfat, which makes it a bitch to swim and causes you to get colder and less functional more quickly (especially after drinking alcohol, which depresses your system). Plus, it's way harder to stay afloat without fat to keep you up.
Secondly, he was black. No offense, but the % of black people that have poor coordination in the water is very high.
Thirdly, he was probably your average joe schmoe who has poor cardio-vascular health under stressful conditions due to lack of exercise.
Sorry if I seem like an asshole from this post for making assumptions, but this is all I could think about. These are the considerations I would think about before jumping into cold water for a long swim.

Probably true....But I don't think he's looking for reasons why he died, more along the lines of support and understanding.
