The water is still pretty cold yet, and won't warm up for a while. If anything, it still acts as a refrigerator this time of year. In warmer weather, they get nasty quick.

Somebody threw away a perfectly good White Boy.  Its hard to be green, when you're alive...I guess.

Hard to say. He may have just walked out on the ice and gone through. No clear cause of death has been established, except no signs of foul play. They come up in the spring if the current doesn't carry them off.
