The truth ?

		<description><![CDATA[The other families don&#039;t have a problem with Schuyler.  Why?  Because they&#039;re normal.  This Cooper fella has no identity other than through his son.  By keeping his silliness going, he keeps his son alive.

Heck, Cooper has blamed the Coast Guard too...  This guy just walks around blaming folks at random for his son&#039;s death.

It was a sudden accident and I feel for his loss, but he doesn&#039;t have the right to defame folks.

There is no &quot;Mentalist&quot; conspiracy here.  There is no murder.  And PFT should take a little responsibility here giving Mr. Cooper a platform for his craziness without offering proof of what he&#039;s saying.]]></description>

schuyler&#039;s condition was probly brought under control pretty quickly.

the father cant stand that maybe his son did anything wrong. more ghost-chasing.

people need to be realistic. i know someone whose son just died in a canoeing accident. the kid took a lot of risks. his dad knew about it, and doesnt seem to be blaming everyone else in the world or looking for a scapegoat.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because of Nick&#039;s (Schuyler) physical condition -- the 24-year-old was dehydrated and showed signs of hypothermia, but he was upgraded from serious to fair condition Tuesday -- the Coast Guard was unable to give a full account of what happened. 

Dr. Mark Rumbak said the 24-year-old was in good condition but will remain in intensive care in case there are complications. Schuyler probably could have lived only another five to 10 hours, Rumbak said.

Schuyler&#039;s temp was 89 degrees when they pulled him out.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Sounds like a guy in the water to me...  How great a boater was Cooper?

------------------------------------------------------------------
Marquis Cooper was an avid fisherman. When he played at Washington, he considered majoring in marine biology -- until he looked at the math requirements.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Could his lack of math skill lead to his failure to understand his anchor situation and what would happen?  Very Probable.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

So what does Bruce claim?

----------------------------------------------------------
Reports would come out that Marquis simply gave up. Bruce Cooper says his son would never do that. His 26-year-old son, he says, would fight to the end to survive.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Under his right mind that&#039;s probably true...  But under his medical condition?  He probably went mad.  It is completely consistant with hypothermia. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

To the folks that think what Bruce Cooper is doing is just fine and a proper form of mourning?  Well, keep in mind his wife has tried to commit suicide while he&#039;s been busy on this skipe hunt for blame.  This skipe hunt is also most likely going to lead to Schuyler&#039;s publisher to file lawsuits of defamation against Cooper, which there have been threats of.

They proper way to mourn your son and his memory is to not notice the depression of your wife and almost lose her to suicide and get sued into bankruptcy?  Wow!  Some folks here just don&#039;t have a clue.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just wanted to make sure everyone realizes this book came out a year and three months ago. I had no idea.  I don&#039;t remember any publicity push at all. Cooper in the video just looked like he flew off the handle (possibly after a drink or two) to a local reporter who then ran with the story. 

I&#039;d cut him some slack and cut Schuyler the same for being mostly low profile since the accident. 

All Cooper did here was sell more copies of a book most people didn&#039;t realize was even published.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some of you people are seriously troubled in the head.  This father has every right to question this story.  If someone is using and exaggerating and falsifying the story of your son&#039;s death in a selfish attempt to profit, you are more than welcome to call that person out.

He would not be given the chance to write this book had Cooper and Corey Smith&#039;s deaths not made this story national news.  Writing a book about the story, and exaggerating or lying about the events is a pitiful attempt to profit from his friends deaths.  I applaud Mr. Cooper for saying something]]></description>

If someone is using and exaggerating and falsifying the story of your son&#8217;s death in a selfish attempt to profit, you are more than welcome to call that person out.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The survivor&#039;s story wasn&#039;t credible to many two years ago, either. His story kept changing to put himself in the best possible light. He conducted no media interviews for weeks after his rescue. He made up his explanation as he went along, while using hypothermia as an excuse for his many inconsistencies. Supposedly, the three friends were supposed to rotate sitting on top of the hull to get out of the cold water. The alternative theory is that once the survivor got on top of the hull, he refused to give up his position and the other two became too weak to climb out of the water - and expired. There was no evidence to either prove or disprove the survivors account, but his story was that the other two gave up their fight to live while he alone had the strength to survive. Very doubtful.]]></description>

  The reason he doesn&#039;t want to believe the story is largely because Schuyler said that Marquis Cooper is the person who accidentally capsized the boat.  He doesn&#039;t have any evidence to contradict anything Schuyler said, other than he doesn&#039;t want to believe it.

This was all done for PR purposes,  I know it for a fact,  i wasnt there but it is a fact because there is no way possible for 1 person to have more endurance  and will power, than another,  it is not possible.
