3 New Englanders dead in Florida boating incident
A fourth person remains in critical but stable condition.
Three people died in a Florida boating incident on Saturday, officials said.
Emergency personnel responded to the “incident” involving a 39-foot vessel on the Caloosahatchee River near the Cape Coral Yacht Club that day, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission wrote in a statement, providing no additional information on what exactly occurred.
Three of the four occupants were transported to a local hospital where Brenda Millet, 49, and Rebecca Knight, 48, were pronounced dead. Neal Kirby remained in critical but stable condition, the commission said.
The search for the fourth occupant continued into Sunday afternoon when Craig Millet, 56, was found deceased, officials said.
