We're asking Kootenai County teens to ensure their peer and, to many, their good friend Reggie Nault did not die in vain. Reggie, 16, drowned Tuesday evening in Lake Coeur d'Alene. According to reports, he fell from a moving boat. Witnesses said without a personal flotation device, Reggie immediately disappeared into the water. By all accounts, Reggie Nault was a smart young man and a talented athlete. Alcohol is not believed to have played a role in this tragedy, so if Reggie could drown that quickly and easily, imagine the odds of you or your loved ones surviving a similar accident. Reggie's death was the second drowning on Lake Coeur d'Alene in a week. The previous Monday, Kootenai County Sheriff's Office divers recovered the body of 63-year-old Thomas M. Fritz of Spokane. According to reports, Fritz wasn't wearing a personal flotation device, either/Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: Do you always wear a lifejacket of the water? If not, why not?
