That's unduly harsh. His kayak went over in high winds, according to the article; he wasn't planning an extended swim.

Given that he died six hours after reaching the hospital, I wonder if their expertise with modern hypothermia treatment was adequate.

you don't know much about outdoors, do you...

He is human.

Well, he was also 72 years old. I'll be happy if I can even swim at all if/when I'm that age!
