Condolences to the family of the victim. "TOOGOOD FORYOU" - Your limited experience rafting on the Kennebec shows in your comment. If this is the highest you've seen it then you have not rafted much or for very long. I would be willing to bet that this poor rafter didn't drown and probably ended up having a heart condition of some sort and that is how they'll determine this person died.report abuseTOOGOOD FORYOU
