Not only impaired and dark…in February in the Midwest, water is COLD. I’m shocked an 18 year old fully clothed in hoodie and whatnot thought he could swim across a near freezing pond.
Sounds like he made it 50 feet, went into shock, sank like a rock. Even though kids heard splashing search and rescue couldn’t find any evidence of him in that pond for 36 hours or so.
“…they discovered a body in the pond closest to where the gathering…was being held.
They said that the body was fully clothed and was in the mud at the bottom of the pond.
The sheriff’s department reports Sizemore was located about 11 feet down and about 53 feet from the shoreline.
The water temperature was around 44 degrees.”
