Episode Details

A tragic drowning in Gresham, Oregon, claims the life of a 15-year-old at Blue Lake Park—just one of three fatal drownings this summer in Multnomah County. Officials blame extreme heat, which can rapidly drain energy even in experienced swimmers, and stress that a properly fitted life jacket could have saved all three lives. Authorities warn that familiar waters can become deadly under changing conditions, and experts urge caution with river currents and bystander rescues. Fortunately, free life vest stations and expanding lending programs are helping communities prioritize water safety.
