Rick Cater has passed away

Excerpt from Manager 7/24/17 KK report:

This week I’m going to break from the norm a little bit. I normally don’t discuss deaths as they are already covered in the sunshine report. However this last week we had a very public death, primarily because of the location. Rick Cater was found in S-bag Lake around 4am on Tuesday morning. The police came out and did a thorough investigation however the cause of death has not been
released yet pending the toxicology results.

Many people have been asking questions, I’ve received phone calls from owners out of state who have heard of Rick’s death and want to know the circumstances.  I’d like to ask everyone to avoid speculation at this point. Rick’s friends and family have heard people speculating suicide as a cause of death and have been upset by this. That is understandable as loss of a loved one is difficult enough to deal with by itself.

What we do know is that Rick went out to the dock Sunday evening at 8:42 pm and stayed past dark. We do not yet know what time he fell into the water.

(Editor:  There is no evidence whatsoever that he fell into the water).

Although the corners (that would be "coroner's") report has not been released, according to friends and family there was no water found in his lungs,

which would indicate he was deceased before he fell in possibly from a heart attack.
(Editor:  Again, TWO speculative possible and premature conclusions based on nothing.)
