I just found this on the independent.co.uk. 21.8.2014. Corey Griffin the ALS ice bucket challenge guy dove off a warf on Nantucket Island, MA. He came up once, then submerged again into the water. Age 27, a philanthropist. Griffin: a mythical creature with the head and upper torso of an eagle and the lower body of a lion. Sometimes with wings. Often seen in heraldry, meaning courage and boldness. The U.S. is identified with the eagle, Great Britain with the lion. The warf he dove from was on the Straight Road. Area is near or on Nantucket Ice Cream Juice Guys. The Boston Herald is also covering it. Anglo-America going under? Or just another very sad trauma loss, occurring so soon after such a positive uniting charity drive? sources wikipedia for the griffin definition & www.independent.co.uk./news/people/als-ice-budket-challenge-cofounder-corey-griffin-drowns-aged-27-9681129.html
