Can’t imagine being so miserable that I would have to be racist and ignorant in every single citizen vid. That Must suck

This is not a case of bodies being dumped here or murder bodies showing up in the water. You can't take every single body that winds up in the water as foul play. Some people willfully enter the water and can't swim and think the waters not deep enough but then the drowning and they proved to themselves if they are wrong. That causes a water rescue effort sometimes successful and sometimes unsuccessful. In this case the information reports that a man was seen entering the water at the fountain of the planets and never came out along the Promenade of Industry. That prompted water rescue which was unsuccessful and then later water recovery when the body was recovered later on. You usually are not supposed to enter these Waters, rivers, fountains, lakes and things if it doesn't indicate that it's okay to swim and that a lifeguard is on duty. People just take it upon themselves because they want to do what they want to do and there's no precautions put in place cuz you're not expected to be going in that water.
