Attorney dead at Square Lake - Minnesota

[Aqua guy]

I don’t have a problem diving solo every time someone dies or gets hurt they throw up the buddy system rules, “ I say to each their own”. I except my accident or death if it happens solo diving you learn and practice as you go. Divers that need a buddy that’s on them leave the solo divers on their own.

It was just mentioned in one of the news stories: Scuba diver who died in Washington County lake ID’ed as Shoreview attorney – Twin Cities

I am not a professional journalist. When I post about a new accident here on A&I, I do try to show some identification in the title to differentiate from other threads. Your objection is dully noted.

If it's a defense attorney then it's much less tragic.

A lot of folks like their titles and use titles as a way to show respect; doctor, professor, attorney, pastor, officer, senator, etc. Perhaps he was proud of achieving his position? I think they were not releasing his name, initially, so "attorney" may have been as much info as they could release.

This goes into my top-ten autocorrects.

No, I'm not a journalist either. Noted that you like to add a bit of info to the title. Now I get it. Please carry on...

I wonder why the new smilie menu doesn't have any laughing? I tried journalism in high school, even went on to state competition once - scoring well in headline writing, but spelling was always a weakness.
