Since June 14Th there has been four deaths at Lake of the Ozarks. This makes a total of seven this year. And all have been reported as involving alcohol. Six of this year's victims drowned and the seventh was killed in a boating accident. It was said by water patrol,Rad Talburt, that most if not all seven deaths could have been prevented if those involved worn life jackets and abstained from drinking alcohol.
The four victims from the Ozarks:
-- Divers pulled the body of Mary Rembold from the lake around 8 p-m Thursday. The patrol says the 43-year-old Roach woman had jumped off the back of a boat without a life jacket about six hours earlier.
-- At 10:40 p.m. Thursday, Rodger Spooner was attempting to put a life jacket on when he fell into the water. The body of the 45-year-old Stover man was recovered Saturday afternoon.
-- At 6 p-m Saturday, Jonathan Snyder was reported missing in an area known as "Party Cove." The body of the 25-year-old Pennsylvania man was found Sunday afternoon.
-- The body of 21-year-old Juan Howell of Richland was found yesterday near a dock where he was last seen.

I'm wondering what the title of this post is to imply: That those who died aren't worth anything because they were drunk?
And for the record, simply because alcohol was involved does not mean that it was the cause of any of these accidents.
If you're going to report the 'news', it'd probably be more professional to put some thought into your post titles before spouting off henious things as you have here...
I'm sorry Sam if you only read headings and not articles. If, so you would have seen that I was not saying that their lives were not important. In fact if they valued their own lifes they would have wore life jackets or maybe not swim while your inebriated. The heading is only a phrase which means drunks aren't apable of much.
