Spanish term or phrase: sea
In Hoy newspaper of 6 de febrero 2012 on p.6 there is an article with the headline "Pescador se ahoga en lago de McHenry". The accompanying photo shows a search crew in boats and the caption reads, " Pescador sea ahoga". I thought "sea" means "to be". Shouldn't it read "Pescador fui ahoga"?

English translation:Fisherman drowns
Explanation:
"Sea" is simply a typo for "se"; the caption should read exactly as the headline: "Pescador se ahoga".

La búsqueda por un pescador, quien cayó a un lago del Condado de McHenry terminó el sábado por la mañana cuando su cuerpo fue recuperado. El cuerpo de Justin Ribar, de 29 años y residente de Wonder Lake, fue sacado a las 11:12 am y el Médico Forense de ese condado indicó que el lunes se le practicaría una autopsia.
