An Alive Guy Floating Dead

Joseph DeAngelo sleeping in the river
I'm sure by now many of you have heard the story about the dead guy floating in the Susquehanna River who suddenly came to life.  If you haven't, here is what happened.  The Williamsport authorities were called to the river by a report of a dead body.  When they arrived, sure enough there was a body floating about 5 to 6 feet off the shore in the shallow water.  Police summoned the coroner to the river bank where they stood for some time formulating a game plan for the extraction.  As onlookers gathered and the authorities got ready to recover the dead body, a dragon fly lands on the nose of the man and BAM......HE SITS UP!  A miracle many thought.  How can this be?  He was floating there stone dead, no movement what-so-ever.  The coroner was about to fish out the dead carcass.  What is going on here?  This part of the mighty Susquehanna River has been known for it's drownings over the years.

It appears that Joseph DeAngelo was floating in the river and simply fell asleep.  “I was out like a light, it was comfortable,” said DeAngelo.  “It was like laying on a cloud. I looked up at the clouds and I was laying on a cloud, and it was a wonderful thing”.  Williamsport Police Captain Michael Orwig stated, “I said it’s a miracle. It’s great!”  Oh, it's great all right.  It's so good that it made Yahoo's Comedy page on their web site Broken News Daily.  Once again NEPA makes total idiots out of themselves.  Here they thought and I say thought a guy had drowned in the river but sits up after a dragonfly lands on his nose.  Didn't anyone think about wading out to see if this guy was actually dead?  NO, why would the cops do that.  Why would the people who reported it do that?  Instead they call the coroner assuming DeAngelo was dead.  The coroner didn't even wade out to check.  All I have to say is what are the first three letters of the word assume?  You got it, ASS!  And let me tell you the powers to be at all levels of government and authority here in NEPA are great making an ass out of themselves and our area.
