Mass Kayaker dies fishing off Conimicut Point this afternoon. Man was from Bellingham.

Medical emergency of some sort.

#^&#^&#^&#^&, hope no one we know. My heart goes out regardless

As they say "When your time is up, it's up".
As I have learned to say nowadays, "hopefully he went quickly" (as too many people I've known had lingering illnesses that took them bit by bit while we were helpless to do anything but watch and pray).
At the very least he was doing something he loved doing.

No matter how you say it, it's still a solemn time, and prayers need to be sent!

May he rest in peace! God be with the family at this time of sorrow!

WARWICK, R.I. -- A 53-year-old man died Thursday while kayaking in the Conimicut Point Park area in Warwick, the authorities said.
Police identified the man as Edward D. Wessel, of Bellingham, Mass. They said it appeared that Wessel did not die from drowning but from a medical condition.
He was found near a kayak off South Shore Avenue, Capt. Joseph Coffey said. Rescue workers attempted to revive him en route to Kent Hospital.
