Sad story how death can come from the most unlikely of places. 
Prayers for the family.

Witnesses told police that Hensley, a Villa Park father with two young daughters, drowned after he was attacked by a nesting swan Saturday morning, causing his kayak to topple. The bird continued to lunge at him aggressively as he struggled to make it to shore before disappearing under the water, authorities said.
He was fully clothed and wearing boots with no floatation device. Assuming he was in a real kayak and not some sit on top watercraft, he could have grabbed the rim and pulled his head up inside the inverted kayak. This would have kept him afloat and protected him from the attack.
The stories say he was a dedicated family man and a damn nice fellow. Too bad... sad story.
