Isn’t there someone list there nearly every year? Or at least quite often?
There are many terrible ways to die in AK as well as many other places. But AK seems to have Murphy’s Law on the top ten read quite often.
Drownings in general are common but it’s been a long time since the last one like this. Usually several rescues a year from the mud flats - but not fatalities.
I read it's been about 20 years since the last mud flat fatality. Also that the guy pulled in half was at the next low tide body recovery, not at the rescue attempt. Somewhere else is also claiming a pulled-in-half happened in that locale.
Keep in mind it is "journalism". Facts get bent, legends are invented, moved, etc .
Stay off the fuggin mud!
