The family of a San Jose man who drowned in an East Bay lake over the weekend is mourning their loss, but they also want others to learn from the incident.
Cullison was engaged to be married in the coming months. He was fishing with his fiancé at the time of Saturday's tragedy. Family members said Cullison was not wearing a life jacket.
First responders had already been stepping up their warnings about waterways this summer. With the snow melt pouring above normal amounts of runoff into lakes and rivers, officials want everyone to be extra cautious in and around lakes, stream, rivers and reservoirs. "The biggest danger is going out into the water without a life jacket," East Bay Regional Parks District Acting Lt. Patrick Brookens said."We want everyone to wear a life jacket, especially if you're not a strong swimmer."
Cullison's family echoes that warning and said they hope others can learn from the tragedy and will be extra careful.This article tagged under:
