Body of man who may have
drowned recovered from Inner Harbor
August 27, 2008
His friends reported him missing when he
failed to meet them this morning
The body of a
man who may have drowned was pulled out of the Inner
Harbor early this morning by divers with the city Fire
Department, authorities said.
Three friends of the man, whose name was not released,
reported him missing to authorities shortly before 3
a.m. after he was supposed to meet them at a
pre-determined location near the Light Street pavilion,
a city Fire Department spokesman said. The group who had
been hanging around the harbor had separated earlier in
the evening and planned to meet near the pavilion about
1:30 a.m., according to Chief Kevin Cartwright, a
department spokesman.
After police and fire rescue workers arrived, the three
friends told authorities that they feared their friend
had fallen in the water. Divers with the Fire Department
entered the water near the pavilion about 3:15 a.m. and,
minutes later, found the man submerged and unconscious,
Cartwright said.
He was pulled from the water and pronounced dead at the
scene, Cartwright said. His body was taken to the state
medical examiner's office for an autopsy, and police
were investigating his death, Cartwright said. Details
about the incident from police were not immediately
available this morning.

Video #23 - Rescue In Jones
Falls - WBAL - TV |
Woman
Pulled From Water Dies
July
23, 2008
A Baltimore woman died yesterday
afternoon after she jumped into the Jones Falls north of
Druid Hill
Park, a city Fire Department spokesman said.
Janet Lochner, 46, who lived in the 3800 block of
Falls Road, was walking on a footbridge over the river
about 1:30 p.m. when her fiancé decided to jump into the
water to go swimming, authorities said.
The fiancé, whom police did not identify, went into the
water first, and Lochner followed. She initially
surfaced, but then went under again, said Officer Nicole
Monroe, a police spokeswoman. Several minutes later, she
resurfaced but was about 15 to 20 yards away from a
waterfall, Monroe said.
Bystanders called 911, and
a Fire Department dive rescue team was directed to the
2800 block of Falls Road, said Chief Kevin Cartwright, a
Fire Department spokesman. Fire Lt. Timothy J. Biermann
pulled the woman out of the water, Cartwright said.
Lochner was
unconscious and in cardiac arrest when she was taken
from the water, Cartwright said. Paramedics took her to
Union Memorial Hospital, where she was pronounced dead
about 2:15 p.m.

A Dive Rescuers Prayer
When
I'm called for duty God
to dive beneath the waves.
To search for an unfortunate soul
whose body they have claimed.
Let swiftness be my virtue
to find that soul in time.
Please
let this be a rescue lord
and not the other "kind"
Be my eyes in the darkest lake
and guide me with your hand
that this person may be saved
when we return to land.
If
this is not your will Lord
then please show me the way
to sort out this sad mystery
and to dive another day.
If things become the darkest Lord
and it's I that you call home
please guide my friends and family
that they'll never walk alone.
