Police say a 69-year-old man is dead after a
boating accident on Senachwine Lake in Putnam County.

Authorities say Kenneth W. Rickey of Henry died after falling
overboard from a sailboat on the lake.

Illinois Conservation Police Sgt. Robert Frazier says police
received a call around 2:45 p.m. Sunday that someone had fallen
overboard.

Rickey's body was recovered from the lake and he was pronounced
dead at Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton just after 4 p.m.
Sunday.

Henry alderman Tom Davis says Henry ran at least two businesses including a cell phone business.

If you people really care about the picture of the boat so much why don't you go and talk to the people instead of complaining about it here on there website.

First of all, condolences on the death of Mr. Rickey. I was so sorry to hear about this accident. Secondly, I have previously complained to WEEK about their use of stock photos that are not identified. It is poor journalism to use these photos without applying some type of by-line or watermark to indicate the photo is simply a stock photo.
