A young woman is dead after being trapped underwater at a popular swimming spot in Flatrock on Wednesday. Police and firefighters were called to Big River around 3:05 p.m., with reports of a swimmer being dragged underwater by the current. A year after his death, Knee's family warned swimmers to think twice before entering the water at Big River. The Town of Flatrock erected signs in 2017 reminding visitors that Big River is not a designated swimming area, and stating that the river has claimed several lives in the past. He's never set foot in Big River and he's grown accustomed to sleepless nights after hearing sirens tear through his town on summer days.
