Description

Witness Narrative by (do not publish name) on 2016-10-16 (okay to publish): He ran the drop left of center, came out of his boat and was recirculated. We threw a rope multiple times, but he either wasn’t able to grab it or was already unconscious. At this point I ran to get my rope so I didn’t see what happened. I’ve heard the rope snagged him and then one of our friends jumped in to pull him to shore. We got him to the shore, started CPR and bystander called 911. He had a pulse and was breathing when he went to the hospital, but was still unconscious. It’s already on the news: http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2016/10/16/man-found-underwater-in-jones-falls/ My husband started CPR while I ran upstream to stop others from running the falls and get more help. His name is Craig Bedard–he’s an AW member if you need to contact him.
