A) That’s sad- only 33 years old!
B) Kate Ward, do you possibly mean Homer, Alaska, not Homer, Arkansas (which is what Ark. means)? Alaska would make more sense…
You do realize most of these people that work on the boats don’t live in Alaska.
Other news reports state he was found in an “Alaskan” hotel room, so I’m guessing “Ark” is a typo…
Maybe he was found in an Ark?
Should that be Homer, AK (Alaska) and not Homer, Ark (Arkansas)?
it’s AR not Ark.
Does it really matter where he died? He’s dead. Plain and simple.
It matters when reporters can’t get even basic facts right.
It was a typo; they fixed it. GET OVER IT.
It totally matters where someone dies. How else would I know where to pour out my 40 of St Ides?
Outstanding
Who died? What show? Yaaaawn….
Another person who believes pretending to be ignorant of something popular makes them better than others. Yawn.
Rest In Peace Justin Tennison
someone passes away and all you people can do is B;%ch about what state they were in, how childish and pathedic can ppl be nowadays!
Do you mean, “pathetic” and “people”? Sorry, couldn’t help it.
i do agree u people need to comment on the person that died not the misprint HELLO REST IN PEACE JUSTIN.
So very sad! What a life on the high seas!!! Live hard, die young.
