Kevin O’Leary has released a statement Wednesday saying that he was on one of the boats that collided Saturday on Lake Joseph. Police say Gary Oltash, 64, a Florida man with a cottage on the lake was pronounced dead at the scene. A 48-year-old Uxbridge woman, Suzana Brito, died later from her injuries. Police say two vessels collided on the lake near Emerald Island in Seguin Township at around 11:30 p.m. Here is O’Leary’s statement.
“On late Saturday night I was a passenger in a boat that was involved in a tragic collision with another watercraft that had no navigation lights on and then fled the scene. I am fully cooperating with law enforcement in their investigation. Out of respect for the victims’ families and to fully support the ongoing investigation I feel it is inappropriate to make further comments at this time. My heartfelt prayers and condolences to the victims, the families and those affected by this loss.”
