It appears based on the comments (assuming they are legit which there is no reason to believe otherwise) and the revised write up that no longer makes reference to leaving the scene that it may indeed have been a tragic accident.  The suggestion that she may have been intoxicated and fell over the front of the boat in the dark makes me think the driver simply was unable to react quickly enough to stop the boat.  If a 21 foot boat were going 15 mph that means it travels 22 feet every second.  How many of us under those circumstances could recognize that a passenger fell off and cut the engine to idle in 1 second?  I would venture to guess that during daylight you would not even register what had happened in less than a few seconds, let alone reach over and cut the engine off.  And that assumes you weren't looking the other way talking to someone or looking at a gps or one of another twenty reasonable distractions.

To me this sounds like a tragic accident.

On a totally separate note, I saw all the responses to Kizma and it confirms for me why I have his comments blocked.  I found him to be really objectionable a long time ago and decided it was not a good use of my time to read his posts.  I suggest everyone do the same and avoid the nausea.
