Weird that a guy with the know-hows to prepare for such a situation didn't survive.

  That's unduly harsh. His kayak went over in high winds, according to the article; he wasn't planning an extended swim. Given that he died six hours after reaching the hospital, I wonder if their expertise with modern hypothermia treatment was adequate.

    Indeed, old-school hypothermia is so much easier to treat.

  Well, he was also 72 years old. I'll be happy if I can even swim at all if/when I'm that age!
