WAS DROWNED MAN 'VERTICALLY CHALLENGED?'

A man has drowned in Orange County after stealing a canoe. Thing is, he was drunk when he stole the craft, which is possibly why he forgot that he was unable to swim. He obviously couldn't canoe!
The report says that the victim drowned in only 4 to 6 ft of water. Why didn't he just stand up?
The dead man is survived by the two friends who were with him at the time but they will not face charges as the owner of the canoe does not wish to prosecute.
