Ending dates as it did with other closings!
I am sorry to hear that a man died while swimming laps but am curious that this accident/incident has not been reported else ware, to the best of my knowledge.
I'm a Pennecamp resident and frequent the pool often and am currently in WI and would like to learn more about this tragedy.

Something similar happened about a year ago when there was a lot of discussion on this forum about someone found dead of a gunshot wound on a golfcourse and nothing was mentioned in The Daily Sun. I called the managing editor at that time, Mira Minton, and asked her and she said it was customary for the Sun not to publish accounts of suicides.
I don't know what is the usual procedure of reporting in the paper the death of someone who dies somewhere on campus. I know that a man died on a park bench and that was discussed on this forum as folks who post on here came to his aid and then his daughter came on the forum to thank those who helped her dad. It was not printed in the Sun.
Whether it SHOULD be or not is a matter of opinion, I guess.
