May she rest in peace. Drowning’s a horrible way to die.
Sue the wheelchair maker for not making it float-safe. The company was discriminatory against those who cannot move their legs (for walking OR swimming).
“Jacob Hoirup says he tried to save her but the wheelchair was too heavy and he ran out of oxygen. “
Maybe he should have rescued her first, and just left the wheelchair in the water. You can always get a new wheelchair.
Probably a Democrat.
This is a tragic story, but if they were on a boat, why wasn’t she wearing a PFD?
Was she strapped into the chair? Is that common? (Honest questions, I don’t have a clue on that)
In all seriousness, that is a horrible way to go.
Feeling all appropriate sympathies for her misfortune, but can the lawsuit for the water not being ADA compliant be far behind?
Rescue the woman, not the wheelchair? Probably one of those oversized, motorized ones.
She spent so long telling other people that the disabled can do anything if people just build them ramps she did not stop to think if they SHOULD do anything. Being strapped into a chair (if she was) anywhere near water is incredibly stupid.
Poor woman. What a terrible way to die.
3 letters: P. F. D.
Every time.
Everyone has limits. Everyone should be aware of those limits.
A case where men no longer carrying blades costs a life.
Wow, she published several books about living with disabilities but made no mention of using a life jacket?
Wheelchair bound but not using a life jacket? She suicided.
Mother Nature is in for it now!
It’s a given the Left will blame her for not providing safe ADA access to large bodies of water.
