Damn this happens again. Time for me to leave this mad rock of an island for three months and I'll return once all the dead bodies from drowning have been tallied up. No-one can stop the madness. Not the worry of the people here, they think of it as karma.
RIP young man. Were they local lads?

Is this simply a case of all drownings actually being reported now?
