not very intelligent article on that new york news, b/c it says absolutely nothing about any facts, just guessing.
how can it be named a boat accident?
sh'e been off the boat, standing in shallow water, taking her lifejacket off to wet her hair and then something happened to her.
sounds weird and with her friends tiogether with her that moment i would have expected that they would have seen something, i.e. if she had hit her head somewhere in or off the boat, such hit been mentioned in the first linked article on the thread.
sorry for the family's loss, but on that case are many questions to be answered.
the writing about not available paramedics due to astrike are a double BS. first of all the strike been today, second it did effect in PC just the big Trucks, the cargo transportation, and anyways paramedics/emergency medic staff is never involved in any strike.
in punta cana at no time since years any street been blocked by any strike, they park the striking vehicles at the crossings at the side of the road, no disturbing of private or medic traffic in any way. and the strike been TODAY.
i also wondered about the mentioning of a girl lifeguard trying to help aso, i may be wrong, but for me it would be a surprising news to hear that the Ocean Blue Resort has any lifeguards on duty, very unusual for the most resorts in Punta Cana.
the autopsie and questioning of the present friends will hopefully soon bring news in the circumstances, til now the articles are pure guessing and that new york article is a dangerous BS.
