It is NOT illegal to not wear life jackets at their age limit, but boats need to have same amount of life preservers/jackets as passengers. So he legally would not need to wear one.I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't wearing any. I think in this situation, many people feel embarrassed/ashamed of not following basic safety and lie about it so they don't look bad. I'm not blaming/shaming. I don't know if I'd put on a life jacket for a quick boat ride either.
Also not totally taking foul play off the table.
Autopsies are good at telling truths....
However, original News and from fiance said He WAS wearing one.
So-- my question is...where did it go ??
I mean, a life jacket just doesnt fall off someone , IMO
