Is it being reported he was drinking? - Hextall271
Reported missing just after 6 AM. It's possible he was going for a healthy swim, but he also had some off ice issues. My money is on alcohol being involved.

Also heard that Hamilton habor is not a known swimming spot, due to the water not being very clean.
Emery was eccentric, colourful, unpredictable, and sometimes just a nutjob, but when he was focused and on he was a very capable and solid goalie. Right from his OHL days he just couldn't seem to stay out of trouble and had issues with his anger management. In the AHL I remember watching him in warmup get a shot up high from a teammate, and just snap. Charged out of the net to beat the hell out of the guy.
A shame he died so young though. Likely jumped out of the boat on a dare, after all this IS the guy that ate a dead cockroach found on the Ottawa dressing room floor for $500.00 too... just a shame. RIP.
Diving into shallow water is obviously a dangerous thing. Sometimes you have no idea how little water is there. Especially with sandbars at low tide! Clearly I have no clue as to what happened, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he conked himself and suffered that unfortunate fate, or perhaps from driftwood or flotsam. It’s a sad story.

Always loved Razor’s flare.

let's pretend he wasn't on coke or abused alcohol shall we.
anyone who actually knew him personally should not be surprised that something like this happened. this is what happens when you give humans like this all the money and free time in the world. once again RIP to a life well wasted when it didn't have to be. people need to know the truth so that maybe just maybe it could prevent at least one more person from going down this road and ending up dead any age not just a mere 35 years old.

So your point is, we should not judge him but let's all judge him?

This may all be true, but it's a sad time for his friends and family, he needs to be remembered in a positive light. RIP Razor Ray
