My lad went to uni in York and just before he went students were ending up in the Ouse with alarming regularity - I don't think the Mrs slept for the first month because of some of the states he used to come home in.

Spoke to a fairly senior copper in Cardiff about a year ago; he told me that deaths by drowning by pissed up revellers in the River Taff were far from rare. Rivers are different from canals, though. Much more treacherous.

Just the first three examples of people being lucky to be near a busy part of the canal or with friends. Drink seems to be a big part of them all.

He was telling me that some of them don't even fall in, but get in voluntarily. Whilst it has a comic undertone, it's utterly tragic for the families, accentuated by it being utterly avoidable and the ages of the deceased.

Funny enough I was thinking about this on the way into work this morning with another body found in the canal
