Why the hell would you bring a cat on a canoe ride? It wasn't reported but I think it would have been ironic if the cat had swam back to the boat and survived.



A 46-year-old man died while canoeing in Loon Lake in the northern suburbs of Illinois Memorial Day weekend after he jumped in the water to try and save a cat.

Officials with the Lake County Sheriff's office were called to the scene a little after 7:30 p.m. in the 2300 block of Lake Shore Drive in Antioch. The man was in a canoe with another man and woman on Loon Lake when a cat, also in the canoe, jumped into the water, police said.

The man tried to save the cat but went under the water, according to authorities. His body was recovered shortly after midnight Monday.

The identification of the man, who police say is from Ingleside, had not been released as of Monday morning.

Police said alcohol is believed to have been a factor in the incident. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is investigating the death.

I'm glad they specified that he went "under the water." Without that clarification I would have never been able to figure out what went wrong after he jumped into the water.

That kind of makes it sound like there's a city named "Illinois Memorial Day weekend."
