Tobago police are probing the suspected drowning of 21-year-old Richie Cox, of Fort Bennett, Black Rock.
Police said around 4 pm Thursday, Cox and his friend went fishing at Black Beach in an orange kayak.
His friend told police he was concerned about the rough seas, but Cox insisted they still go out.
The men put the kayak in the water to sail across to Grafton Beach. The friend told police that water started to fill the kayak, forcing them to abandon it and to swim to shore.
According to the police report, Cox and his friend eventually reached the rocks. While his friend managed to pull himself to safety, Cox reportedly went underwater and has not been seen since. —Elizabeth Gonzales
