I just heard from a local fisherman, that a crewmember on the Arctic Fox commited suicide by jumping overboard going around Priest Rock....a fellow crewmember got into a survival suit & jumped in the water, and apparently the suicidal guy pushed him away....he also refused to grab lines that were tossed to him.
How terribly sad, and what a horrible way to die....it's bad enough when it's an accident but what a way to kill yourself..
Prayers go out to his family! Maybe now, he can rest in peace?
