Man Sleeping In River Mistaken For Drowning Victim

A man floating on a central Pennsylvania river was mistaken for a drowning victim – until he sat up.

WNEP-TV reports police and a coroner arrived at the scene Thursday along the Susquehanna River near Williamsport.

Onlookers reported seeing the man floating face-up in a lifejacket just below a dam. The area has seen drownings before.

Turns out the man had fallen asleep while cooling off on a hot summer day.

Swimmer Joseph DeAngelo says he had no idea what was going around him until a dragonfly landed on his nose. Then he sat up.

DeAngelo apologized for the confusion, but says he was living life the best way he knows how.

    This guy is a typical CNP,am sure he went drinking some illicit beer but didn’t have a planner of getting home to sleep and ended up sleeping in a river.This fool should try sleeping in the kafue river and see how crocodiles will enjoy eating his ****** body.Alternatively since people thought he was already dead by drowning so why not now just drown him and probably reduce the unemployment numbers am sure in 90 days zambia will have no unemployed people complaining!Sound familiar?Naifwe bukacha one day lesa akatwibukisha the struggle continues!!!
