The Tragic Death of Kirsty MacColl 😢

[HeisenbergFam]

Saving kids at all cost makes her a heroic legend

That boat driver should be life in prison. Who goes into a non boat area?

For those who are curious, the person that was driving the boat that killed her was José Cen Yam. He was found guilty of culpable homicide, and sentenced to 2 years and 10 months of prison, but he never served any jail time. Instead, he paid a fine of £61 to not serve time, and paid £1500 for damages to the sons. Even after ignoring the law, and then killing a famous person, his fine was £61. People have gone to prison for longer, for stealing a few apples from a grocery store.

Saving her kid like that is the most motherly thing she could have ever done. Respect.

Fun Fact: The man who found guilty was not the real criminal.
On 18 December 2000, English singer-songwriter Kirsty MacColl was killed when struck by a boat which was illegally within a designated diving area. The powerboat involved in the accident was owned by González Nova and Guillermo González Nova, Carlos' brother. One of his employees, boathand José Cen Yam, stated that he was in control of the boat at the time of the incident. Eyewitnesses said that Cen Yam was not at the controls and that the boat was travelling much faster than the speed of one knot that González Nova said.

Cen Yam was found guilty of culpable homicide. People who said they spoke to Cen Yam after the accident said he received money for taking the blame.

The amount of corruption for getting small fines and prison times for actual murder and ignorance is probably beyond insane.

Saving the kids is honestly the most noble act I’ve seen today

She is absolute hero for saving her children first before herself❤

Even though she passed away now i appreciate her act of kindness towards her children. Such a selfless hero.

Crazy how one person not listening can end lives😔

In 2000, after she participated in the presentation of a radio programme for the BBC in Cuba, MacColl took a holiday in Cozumel, Mexico, with her sons and her boyfriend, musician James Knight. On 18 December 2000, she and her sons went diving at the Chankanaab reef, part of the National Marine Park of Cozumel, in a designated diving area that watercraft were restricted from entering. With the group was a local veteran divemaster, Iván Díaz. As the group was surfacing from a dive, a powerboat moving at high speed entered the restricted area. MacColl saw the boat coming before her sons did. Louis, aged 13 at the time, was not in its path, but Jamie, then aged 15, was. She was able to push him out of the way (he sustained minor head and rib injuries), but she was struck by the powerboat, which ran over her. MacColl suffered severe chest and head injuries and died instantly. MacColl's body was repatriated to the United Kingdom and was cremated after a funeral service at Mortlake Crematorium in Kew. She died at the age of 41..
