He was so consumed by the beauty of the Upper Valley that he got lost in the Norwich woods without cell service.

His death was ultimately ruled an accidental drowning. Most days, I cannot help but wonder what might have happened if Won had been six feet tall and white. I cannot help but think that people would have reported him missing that night and stayed behind until he was found. Maybe he’d still be here today.
