Drown in a public pool

A young couple jumped the fence of a public pool in the middle of the night to take a swim. What a nice way to end the night, oblivious of the fact that neither of them knew how to swim. Alcohol makes you do things... the man did not survive his midnight bath.

The provided article doesn't mention that they didn't know how to swim so I'm not sure where claim comes from, but if it's true then this is definitely Darwin-worthy. Thanks.
