BOERNE, Texas (AP) - The manager of a commercial tourist cavern in the Texas Hill Country drowned when he swam into a nearby cave to try to improve its drainage, friends and co-workers said.
Thomas Summers III, 44, died Monday during an attempt to improve the water outflow of Deadman's Cave, which is connected via tunnels to Cave Without a Name, about 30 miles north of San Antonio.
Summers, a father of four, had moved to Kendall County in 2004 to work with his father managing Cave Without a Name, which draws about 15,000 visitors annually.
