Jose Fernandez - Miami Marlins Ace Dead at 24

[Printer Bandit]

I think Jose committed suicide due to issues with his girlfriend and took out 2 of his friends in the process:

And you're basing that on.... Nothing besides he was distressed? He wasn't driving the boat.

Cool, he still wasn't driving the boat. Reckless to be boating late at night like that? Absolutely. Do you think he grabbed the wheel and hit the gas?

how exactly do we know who was driving the boat? something tells me they didn't hit a rock wall at 50mph and all three remained in the exact spot they were standing.

It remains unclear whether Fernandez was driving at the time of the accident. Bernal said Eddy Rivero did not have a boating license and had minimal experience driving a boat. Authorities said the boat, named “Kaught Looking” and tagged with a backward K and two baseballs for Os, accented in Marlins colors, was registered to Fernandez.

IF that and the will bernal post are true then holy shit.

And in news that surprises absolutely nobody, autopsy results show that Jose was drunk out of his mind and also under the influence of cocaine when he crashed the boat.

I like how they immediately announced that alcohol and drugs were not a factor notwithstanding that their corpses reeked of booze.

From hero to zero faster than you can say "Oscar Taveras"

Another victim of a non-violent drug dealer.

Yeah, that was weird. The police were probably paranoid about accusing a celebrity and wanted to let the autopsy show it.

Big surprise.

Even without the smell of booze that's a pretty ridiculous leap of logic. Given the circumstances, three guys of that age in a high speed single vehicle crash at 3 am any reasonable person is going to assume drunk/stoned and stick with that until proven otherwise.

Did he have a nice girlfriend?
