nice find! Looking at some pictures, I'd guess he was knocked unconsious from the top port side of boat knocking probably right on the driver's (Laurent) head, then flipped ripping off the windshield...

That's just my guess...

I heard because of water temp being so cold, he could probably get stucked at the bottom of water till next spring.

Body produces some gas that makes it float after a couple days, but does not produce this gas (or way less) in such cold water...

That is sad, can you imagine what the family is going through, waiting for him to be recovered and put to rest, properly. My heart goes out to the family.

This morning, Laurent's wife told the media that she is still looking for him whit friends. It seem's that Laurent was going about 60MPH when the accident happened. Some one told me that Laurent's daugther told the police that one of the drives had broken...if you look at the picture of the boat on the trailer, you will see a broken horizontal bar that relays the drives...

Thanks for the information. Praying that they find him for the family, soon.

We just went through the same situation. Please don't give up searching. After 5 days, the river gave Pat Reiter back to us. Believe me, I feel your pain and please accept my deepest condolences.
