After being approached by the Park Police at 10:30 PM for loud behavior, Derrin Knipe decided to "Swim from them". While attempting to cross the Potomac River. 2 problems.... 1 problem is that this particular section of the river has a good deal of boat traffic. Problem number 2 is that since it was 10:30 at night - visibility was an issue. Once Derrin was approx 1/2 the way across the river, he was struck by a boat. His body was recovered 2 days later by a dive team. It was reported that his body was in "rough shape". Submitted on 07/09/2002
