The poor woman and kid probably had nightmares forever. I wonder what their immediate reaction was?!?!? Haul him back to shore.... kick him out of the boat... jump out of the boat themselves.... It's bad enough to find a floater, but to have one pop up like that and land in the boat has got to be an absolutely frightening experience. Particularly with the knowledge that his body wasn't in the same condition as it was when he went into the water.
