Second Time is the Charm

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Despite Coast Guard warnings,David Manley 41, of Lawrence MI ventured on to the ice of Saginaw Bay with his pickup truck this past Saturday AM. Needless to say the vechile broke thru the ice. Mr. Manley was able to escape and return to the shore wet and cold, but alive. For some reason, despite a day of sunshine and temps in the mid-60`s, he and a companion returned to the site at 1 AM the following night. The all terrain vechile that they were aboard also plunged thru the ice. The companion escaped, but Mr. Manley`s body was recovered by the Coast Guard at 3:10 AM Southwest of the Channel Islands on Saginaw Bay. An autopsywas to be held today to determine what besides a desire to appear on the Darwin Awards Site. Caused the demise of Mr. Manley
