At last check today, Sunday June 4th, the 69 year old New Zealand man and 26 year old UK man injured in Thursday night’s Hamilton harbour fatal boat collision were in stable condition and continuing to receive treatment at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital (KEMH).

In due course it is anticipated that the UK man, currently being treated in the Intensive Care Unit, will be airlifted overseas for further medical treatment – while the New Zealand man, who was recently transferred from the Intensive Care Unit to a general ward, is expected to be discharged from KEMH later today.

The 26 year old local male resident arrested in connection with this fatal marine incident was not injured as initially thought and has been released on police bail with strict conditions.

A preliminary autopsy of 62 year old New Zealand visitor Mary McKee has been conducted and detectives are awaiting the results of a forensic overview.

The investigative team has already spoken with several witnesses and collected CCTV footage to assist with their enquiries.

The Bermuda Police Service would like to thank those witnesses that have already come forward for their assistance with this investigation and encourage other witnesses that have not spoken with investigators – particularly those with video footage of the scene immediately following the collision – to do so at the earliest opportunity by contacting Senior Investigative Officer Acting Detective Chief Inspector Dave Greenidge on 247-1744 or the independent and confidential Crime Stoppers hotline 800-8477.
