According to an eyewitness, Jnr. Pope died as a result of the boat drivers’ effort to have a “cruise” on the sea, causing their two boats to collide.
The young man, who is also a movie producer, detailed the events in a live video posted to Instagram. Stanley, the man who goes by that name, explained that the incident occurred on the way back from the movie scene.
The boat drivers were driving dangerously on the water in an attempt to be spectacular and showy, causing the boats to collide.
He stated that life jackets are often rented by a different group, and that the speed boat crew did not have any.
Stanley stated that the actor’s and other crew members’ deaths were solely the result of negligence.
He also revealed that the wife saw them remove her husband’s lifeless body from the river when she was summoned to the scene of the tragedy.
According to him, there are still a few people missing under the waves, and they will return the next day to search for them.
