Male killed in boating accident off JVD
A male boater has succumbed to injuries sustained in a boating accident in BVI waters last night.
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) said in a brief media update moments ago that the fatal incident happened off Great Harbour, Jost Van Dyke.
The deceased was the only person aboard the vessel at the time.
“The one male occupant was found unresponsive in the waters with injuries to the head while the dinghy he was in was met circling in the area,” the RVIPF reported.
“Following attempts to resuscitate him, he was pronounced dead,” the police added.
The police did not disclose the identity of the victim nor did they disclose the cause of the accident.

This report is lacking important information relative to the circumstances that led up to this accident.
For example, how did the decease end up with a head injury? We as readers are being left to speculate. Update please.
Mr Governor and Mr Commissioner we the white are calling for an investigation. Please put your white officers on the case. We demand to know the local that place the tree there. And we further demand that he she or it be charged.
What’s lacking my friend is your tolerance and understanding. How could the authorities give info not yet gathered? Have you ever heard the term “investigation?”
Chill my friend…
Hey Coach, haven’t you got a trial to prepare for?
You sound dumb.
Hurricane Irma put the tree there with your foolishness about we the white go and find Irma and ask her
Remember the accident a few weeks ago when a woman and an infant,both lost their lives on a speeding boat one Sunday afternoon..his usual past time
Guess they are still doing an ” investigation of Captain,the Black non BVI Islander succesdful” businessman ” with plenty stories of a certain kind.
No arrest nuttin..quiet like falling snow.
That tree in Gt Habr has been there since Irma. The Ports Authority could be charged for gross negligence for not removing it or at the least for not putting a lighted nav aid denoting isolated danger. I can see a huge lawsuit here.
It was literally last night. How can anyone
possibly comment until there is an investigation?
We live in a world where nobody can wait for
anything. Have respect and wait calmly for
facts. You don’t have to know everything within minutes.
RIP
There’s no mention of a tree yet here we are with
people commenting on it! Why bother reading
if you just make stuff up or gossip?
There are truly some mean ppl in the world. I will just hang with the nice ones.
You to fast and nosey for me.
Another news source stating he had hit a tree. It’s devastating. How can we make it safe for everyone – local or tourists. We need to clear all debris that could kill someone.
A tree? Yes! Do a bit of research!
