Default Four boating dumb****s die from "horsing around"

http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/08/10/ida...ss_igoogle_cnn

``(CNN) -- Four men died after horsing around in a boat on a southern
Idaho reservoir, authorities said late Monday.

The bodies of four men were found Monday evening in the American Falls
Reservoir in the same area where the men had fallen into the water a
day earlier, said Cpl. Leilani Morgan of the the Power County
Sheriff's Department.

The search began Sunday for the four boaters after authorities
received a 911 call from a child on their boat, said Power County,
Idaho, Sheriff Jim Jeffries. The four men were "horsing around," he
said. One man was standing up in the front of the boat and another man
pushed him into the water as a joke, not realizing he could not swim,
he said.

"There were enough vests for all four adult men to have them
on. However, they did not have them on," Morgan said.

KIFI: Four boaters' bodies found.

The victims have been identified as 57-year-old Darrel Shappart,
26-year-old Jared Hale, his 30-year-old brother Aaron Hale and
30-year-old Stephan Verbeck, Morgan said. The men were boating on the
waterway Sunday along with five children under the age of nine.

The frantic 911 call triggered a search where rescuers used boats with
side-scanning sonar to locate the men in the reservoir, which is about
180 miles east-southeast of Boise.''
