Sailor ripped to shreds after falling off back of yacht and getting caught in propellers
Exclusive: Deering Bay Yacht and Country Club, near where 45-year-old Juan Carlos Morales was tragically killed in a yachting accident
A weekend sailor was ripped to shreds on Saturday when he fell from a yacht and into the propellors. The victim, Juan Carlos Morales, a 45-year-old from Miami-Dade, Florida, was killed after falling into Deering Bay, where The Gotcha, a luxury 65ft yacht, was moored.
He had been on the diving platform on the back of the boat when he lost his footing and plunged into the water, where he was dragged beneath and into the spinning rotors.
It is not yet known whether alcohol played a part in the tragedy, or whether Mr Morales, who was a friend of the yacht's owner, was tossed into the water by rough conditions.
