The skipper of a rented motorboat involved in a crash off the Amalfi Coast that killed a U.S. publishing executive is being investigated for suspected manslaughter, a prosecutor in southern Italy says.
ROME — The skipper of a rented motorboat involved in a crash off the Amalfi Coast that killed a U.S. publishing executive is being investigated for suspected manslaughter, a prosecutor in southern Italy said Saturday.
Blood samples were taken from the skipper to determine alcohol and drug levels. But Borrelli indicated that for now the results were inconclusive. Borrelli said when the crash happened, Vaughan was sunning herself on the bow of the boat and “bounced” into the water at the moment of impact. He declined to detail her injuries, saying the results of an autopsy are still pending.
The sailboat’s captain has told Italian media that the motorboat was speeding when it smashed into the stationary sailboat’s bow. A Bloomsbury book, “Chasing Me to My Grave: An Artist’s Memoir of the Jim Crow South,” by the late Winfred Rembert , won the Pulitzer Prize for biography in 2022.
