Update: Quebec man's sister also injured
CBC is reporting that "A man from Quebec has died following a boat explosion at a South Florida marina this week that also injured six people, officials say."
"The explosion was Monday and the man has been identified as Sebastien Gauthier, 41, said Arielle Callender, a spokesperson for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), in a statement to CBC News."
"Gauthier was among seven passengers aboard a 37-foot vessel at the Lauderdale Marina in Fort Lauderdale. According to preliminary information, the vessel exploded after its engines were started, said Callender. The six other passengers were rushed to hospital for treatment. Callender said an investigation by the FWC is ongoing." The Dirty News posted the video.
Car bombs now boat bombs. That is suspicious.
Was he a Quebec crime figure ? Or do we know it was an explosive device ? More likely operator didn’t turn on the power ventilation system to help clear gasoline vapour that can settle. why were passengers so close or onboard when refuelling ? Rule #1 is everyone disembarks to safe distance.
ReplyDeleteI assume we will get more information after the investigation is complete. I can't find any criminal history of him in Quebec.
DeleteI belive you hit the nail on the head, Failed to ventilate
