He left his house to go fishing with friends but never made it home. 28 year old Shawn Toledano drowned at Honey Camp Lagoon yesterday evening while in the company of friends. The group noticed that they could not find him, and after searching they found his body submerged and unresponsive north east of the honey camp lagoon road. Toledano's mother spoke with our colleagues from CTV3 this afternoon and she told them that she had begged her son not to go fishing that afternoon .
Voice of: Odelia Toledano, Mother of Deceased
"Shawn was a kind person because whatever he ate, if he bought and ate something he would bring for me and his father, everything for him was his mom. The day before he came to see me and went to lay down and told me he wanted to sleep beside me and he fell asleep hugging me. That day after he like around 11 he came and told me he was going fishing and i told him not to go that right now is not the best time to go and fish. I told him not to go but he told me he was going with his brother in law, with paps and others. It was about 5 of them who went. I was here sitting in my chair at around 5. I went to sit down and i felt a strong pain in my chest, then i touched my shoulder and it was also hurting me. Then my other son came and told me mom, you look very sad, and i told him son its because Shawn hasn't come back yet. He told me not to worry that he would be back soon. And then around 6 I heard my daughter calling but she wasn't calling for me. She came crying and she didn't want to tell me anything. She was angry because her husband had gone as well and something had happened. Now my husband was telling me to come inside but i told him how can i go inside if my children are crying. When they told me it was as if my pressure had gone up again. But sometimes when someone advises you something its because they already know something was going to happen, but he did not listen to me he still went to fish. My daughter told me that her husband told her that my son wanted to go and fish so he could bring me back a fish to eat. My son was so kind, but its like how they say, God always takes the best children."
