Scanderhoovian surnames sometimes mean you can go into that intensely cold winter water, pass out, have your heart stop beating, and yet you can be pulled out, thawed, warmed up and sent on your way in weeks.
It'd be a shame to find some ignant local getting in the way of parties knowledgeable in that fact.
If assistance was denied then maslaughter charges are in order.
Not everyone dies when they appear to have crowned doggone it. Wish all these Souvrnr's'd figure that out

Apparently, the parents have been put in touch with John Edwards.

Makes you wonder if these parents are looking for so called justice or how much money they can fill their pockets with to ease their pain. I feel sad that this woman lost her life but I do believe in personal responsibility. Besides we all know it was Bush’s fault.

'I just gotta ask, what percentage of fault do the parents ascribe to their daughter for deciding to voluntarily take part in the Polar Bear Plunge?'That's the thing...she DIDN'T take part. She went out and got drunk and apparently either dove off the pier or fell off in the wee morning hours....after the event.

What? They're not gonna sue the guy she handed her beer to and said:
Hey! Hold my beer and watch this.

Tracy Hottenstein was found dead in Sea Isle City the weekend of the Polar Plunge in 2009.

Looks like she either had crowns and or veneers. I know, nothing to do with the story, just the 1st thing I noticed from the pic. =)

They should also sue algore. If he wasn’t trying to prevent Global Warming, the water temperatures would have been higher.

They sued everyone but the sand. Yeah... I don't get why they think they have an ice-cube's chance in h*ll with suing the event. She didn't go to the polar bear swim. Hey, I hear there are two fast food places and a gas station she did not go to that day either, why not sue them too?

Everything she did do that night however was her choice.
How is it everyone else’s fault though? ANd still how is it not the parents’ fault for not stopping her from getting stinking drunk and going out to the pier and falling in?

Forgot about the cold water which belongs to the NJ shoreline; therefore the state should be sued for having extremely cold water available where some lunatic just might want to go swimming in winter.

The link to the news article at the time of her death makes clear she was no kid...she was 35 years old!

For heaven’s sake, the woman was 35 years old! If you haven’t gotten smart enough to not drink yourself into a coma by then, then you will probably not live to a ripe old age anyway.

They forgot to sue the ocean, the Coast Guard, the Boy Scouts, Lady Gaga, Oprah, and God. But I’m sure they’ll get around to it.
Man! I’m glad they don’t know me. If I were a friend, neighbor, or coworker with anyone in this family, I would move.
Stay the hell away from them.
