Authorities are now investigating what may have caused the tragic accident. They have stated that the boat’s captain returned a negative sobriety test at the scene, and they don’t suspect any other criminality to be behind this incident.

Along with the two deaths, three people including the boat captain were apparently critically injured and their conditions have not yet been determined as of Wednesday.

A rep for the Coast Guard said in a statement that they were attempting to learn whether the boat was privately owned by a member of the group or if it was a chartered boat trip from a business. The 24-foot Yamaha AR-240 jet boat was not moving above its max capacity at the time of the accident either.
