SHAUN Manion, the 22-year-old canoeist who nearly drowned in an accident on the first day of the Dusi Canoe Marathon on Thursday, remains in a coma on Saturday. Manion almost died when the canoe he was sharing with team-mate Alex Swift capsized and he got entangled in wire. He was pulled out about five minutes later. His heart and breathing had already stopped, but he was resuscitated by rescuers.
