HUNTSVILLE -The body of a 19-year-old Oakville
man who lost his own lift to save his friend was pulled from the muddy waters
of Clarke Lake near here yesterday.
Sannjeev Michael Watson was last seen
Sunday morning when he pushed his 17-year-old companion back into their
overturned canoe, then disappeared after swimming off to get back the paddles(桨).
“His friend
couldn’t swim that well, so my son saved him first and ended up giving his
life,” said his mother Mona Watson.
Her son, a
strong swimmer, and his friend were heading out in the canoe(独木舟)to watch the sun rise over the
lake about 12 kilometers west of Huntsville when the canoe turned over.
“It was
still dark and foggy,” said Constable Harry Rawluk of
the Huntsville detachment
of the Provincial Police.
“Neither man
was wearing a life jacket and there were none in the canoe”, said Rawluk.
Each ship or
boat is required to be equipped with a life jacket for each occupant but they
do not have to be worn at all times.
When Watson
disappeared, the friend used his hands to paddle 300 meters to the shore to get
help.
“His friend
is extremely upset in mind. He keeps saying over and over, He gave his life to
save me,” said Watson.
“The
incident helped to show the importance of life jackets,” said Rawluk, “We can’t emphasize enough how important it is for
all boaters to wear life jackets even on a small lake like this one,” he said.
Yesterday, the
family, including his father and Michael’s two brothers, helped each other on
the dock until OPP divers found the body about 2: 30p. m.
There were
other tragedies(悲剧)as two men drowned and two boaters went missing, Mike Walsh, 27, of
Tweed, drowned about 6 a. m.
Sunday while canoeing with a man and a woman on Stoco Lake, just north of Billeville,
when the boat tipped over.
“None of the
occupants were wearing life jackets at the time and there was only one paddle
aboard,” said Belleville OPP sergeant Paul Murray.
Mattherw Salei,
22 of Toronto, is believed to have drowned after
falling out of an outboard motor boat on Lake Huron
near Port Franks the day before yesterday. A friend swam to shore.
This
afternoon Kyle Johnson, 19, drowned while camping near Kenora.
The talented junior hockey player from Winnipeg
