Florida Boy Scout Dies on 7.7 Mile Hike
In Naples, Florida, officials have reported that a 17 year old boy scout (Michael Abelman) died while on a hike in the Big Cypress National Preserve. Collier County, Florida Sheriff's Office reported that the death may have been related or caused by a medical problem. Due to the age and circumstances of the death, I suspect that an autopsy will be performed to determine cause and manner of death. It is certainly tragic that Michael Abelman died at such a young age. Typically, young men who remain in the boy scouts through their late teens are dedicated individuals with a bright future ahead of them.
