13. Who goes swimming in a Louisiana pond in February?

Something doesn't sound right about this story.

16. Sympathies for Don and his family,

18. Very Sorry For Don, But ...

...this doesn't pass the smell test. Hard to imagine drowning in a pond, unless she fell out of a boat in the middle of it.

[writerJT]

19. Really?

We don’t know:

- the depth of the pond
- the terrain around the pond
- the time of day
- the weather at the time of the drowning
- whether his sister was sick
- whether she was on any medication
- whether she fell and hit her head
- whether she was alone or with other people

And we don’t know countless other facts.

We do know a person can drown in just a couple of inches of water.

But apparently, with almost no facts at this point, the story doesn’t pass the smell test and it’s hard to imagine drowning in a pond?

Okay...

21. Implying what exactly?

Don't dump the turd in the punch bowl and then just walk away...

My deepest condolences, brother. God bless you and your family!
