Man found drowned during Osheaga
A young man who had left the Osheaga festival was found drowned in the Olympic basin in Jean‑Drapeau park, Sunday evening.
This story rang a bell. Another young man drowned during the festival in 2018.
Shoe dropped later. The Osheaga stages are on Saint Helen’s Island, but the Olympic basin is on the other island. Odd.

Have you been on the island in a crowd after dark? It’s easy to get separated from your friends, or walk off into a dark area because you’re overwhelmed, or need to pee, and not realize you’re too close to the water. Nobody should be looking to lay blame in a case like this.

It’s easy for someone to drift from the pack and be forgotten for a while, especially if drunk or high.
