Sad news. By the looks of him and his police training it would appear he was a very physically fit person. It just goes to show how fast an accident can happen and no matter how fit you are the water can be a dangerous place.

I made a deal with my wife when I got my kayak that I would never get in it with out my PFD on.

I bought a new one thanks to come recommendations on here and have a Mustang MD3183. Most comfortable PFD I have ever owned.

Link for the place I bought it Best prices I have seen on them.
