    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…

    • SLB

      You do realize most of these people that work on the boats don’t live in Alaska.

    • Leo

      Other news reports state he was found in an “Alaskan” hotel room, so I’m guessing “Ark” is a typo…

      • RK

        Maybe he was found in an Ark?

  • Kyla

    Should that be Homer, AK (Alaska) and not Homer, Ark (Arkansas)?

    • JaHoey

      it’s AR not Ark.

  • jimmyt

    Does it really matter where he died? He’s dead. Plain and simple.

    • Anon

      It matters when reporters can’t get even basic facts right.

      • jp

        It was a typo; they fixed it. GET OVER IT.

    • Tess Tickles

      It totally matters where someone dies. How else would I know where to pour out my 40 of St Ides?
