Default Another one bites the dust

How many people have to die before these idiots will learn to quit JUMPING OFF THE ROCKS! Somebody needs to do something about this or my prediction is that the Rock Quarry will be closed real soon.

In the last 2 years I've had 1 person come out in my boat that wanted to do this. I told them when they were done to just swim back to the dock. I'm not gonna be responsible for that kind of stupidity.

Any details? I've been going to the Rock quarry for 20+ years and I'm surprised there are not more deaths than there are. Any given weekend people jump off all day long and I'm sure in some cases, it's only after the alcohol kicks in.

The drowning was reported at 7:34 p.m. Saturday night. His body was recovered early Sunday morning around 1 a.m.

An official with Fish And Wildlife said that Staley could have had the breath knocked out of him after jumping off the rocks. It's still unclear what resulted in the drowning.

Staley's body was taken to Louisville for an autopsy.
