What is your goal here? To convince people Big Canal is lying?
If its to point out how the press can lie, or officials can lie, there are MANY verifiable examples you can use.
If its to say this specific death is suspicious then you are not being effective by only saying “well other people havent drown in similar depths”
Find more compelling evidence/details or get better examples.





You might just need to be more honest and direct. Something like “thanks for the invite but i want to go solo today”
