Looks like it was an 85y/o that fell off the dock while on a walk. Sad for his family. Looks like it was his daily routine....

What a bad couple of days in SoCo. if bad things happen in 3's I'm not fishing for a few days, why tempt fate!

I talked to a State worker who used to work the State Pier in PJ and he said the guy was a regular who used to come down and watch the Block Isle Boats. He told me they found his walker on the dock and when the went searching they found his body. Sounds like he just slipped off the dock. He said it was his regular routine to watch the boats from that dock.
RIP.

Or maybe that's where he decided he wanted to end his days.

Very sad news. Thoughts and prayers for his family

Be encouraging, not discouraging

Unfortunately, it wasn't his life to take, if thats the way it happened.

In any case - R.I.P. ol' timer.

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
