Shakespeare dies after getting blown off boat

JUPITER, Florida (AP) - Stanley Shakespeare, a former Tampa Bay
Buccaneers replacement player and member of the 1983 national champion
Miami Hurricanes, died when he was blown off his boat.
Shakespeare, 42, was hit by a strong gust of wind and went overboard
Tuesday. His fishing companion didn't know how to operate the
5.1-meter (17-foot) boat and couldn't throw a life vest close enough
when the boat drifted away, Palm Beach County sheriff's spokesman Paul
Miller said.
Pattie Hidy, who was on a nearby boat, said she and two companions
were flagged down by Shakespeare's boat mate. Hidy said they searched
the waters about three-quarters of a mile off Jupiter Inlet for 30
minutes before finding Shakespeare face down, sunglasses clenched in
his hand.
The trio pulled Shakespeare onto their rental boat and followed a
sheriff's boat to a Jupiter marina. Shakespeare was pronounced dead at
Jupiter Medical Center.
Sea conditions reportedly went from calm in the morning to windy and
rough in the afternoon, when the accident occurred.
Shakespeare was a starting wide receiver for the Miami team that upset
Nebraska in the Orange Bowl in January 1984. He played briefly for the
Buccaneers during the NFL's strike season of 1987.
No details of survivors were immediately available.

No worries, the headline grabbed my attention, too. :))
I counted on double-takes and word play.

I think a bit from "King Lear" would be more apropos:
Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout
Till you have drench'd our steeples, drown'd the cocks!
You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,
Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,
Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder,
Smite flat the thick rotundity o' the world!
Crack nature's moulds, and germens spill at once,
That make ingrateful man!

Tragic.
Shakespeare, 42, was hit by a strong gust of wind and went overboard
Tuesday. His fishing companion didn't know how to operate the
5.1-meter (17-foot) boat and couldn't throw a life vest close enough
when the boat drifted away, Palm Beach County sheriff's spokesman Paul
Miller said.
But hilarious, also. Sadly, of course.
Pattie Hidy, who was on a nearby boat, said she and two companions
were flagged down by Shakespeare's boat mate. Hidy said they searched
the waters about three-quarters of a mile off Jupiter Inlet for 30
minutes before finding Shakespeare face down, sunglasses clenched in
his hand.
The trio pulled Shakespeare onto their rental boat and followed a
sheriff's boat to a Jupiter marina. Shakespeare was pronounced dead at
Jupiter Medical Center.
Sea conditions reportedly went from calm in the morning to windy and
rough in the afternoon, when the accident occurred.
