TLDR America’s most remarkable kid didn't know how to swim at age 14 and drowned while kayaking not wearing life jacket

I dunno, but I find that remarkably stupid, but I guess US has different standards for what's remarkable.

No, it is very typically stupid. Exactly the kind of thing young men and boys do often, which is engaging in risky behavior without thinking. Most of the time the result is stupid fun. Unfortunately some are unlucky.
