If there was a motor in it, he d been on it, said his brother, Chris Monroe.
Sunday, Rex Monroe took his last ride. On the Illinois River, in an area notorious for strong currents, he fell off a Jet Ski and drowned.
The lifeless Peorian was pulled from the river by rescue personnel. He was not wearing a lifejacket. He wasn t a safety-precaution taker, Chris Monroe said. He didn t wear helmets on bikes either. That wasn t him. That was part of the thrill.
He said the Sunday mishap marked yet another intense and tumultuous episode of his brother s oft-rough-and-tumble 49 years.
APD Deputy Chief Charles Hampton said the suspect was apprehended after an alleged pedestrian accident. They have not identified the suspect and are continuing to investigate.
