23. Tragic Drowning in Lifeguard Party

Back in 1985, a team of lifeguards in New Orleans decided to throw a party in celebration of the fact that their building’s pool had no drownings that summer. They decided to throw a poolside party and invite both lifeguards as well as friends that weren’t in the business.

This celebration took a rudely tragic turn when, the morning after, they found out that one of the guests had drowned. The guest was a friend of the lifeguards and unfortunately wasn’t spotted struggling amidst the hullabaloo of the party.
