Florida dentist charged with fatal hit on law professor WPBF reported Bob Dykes jumped from his boat in an attempt to save those aboard the sinking vessel.

You just don't bother proof reading at all.

Yeah. Any kid under 6 has to have one on. Tragic, but also could be criminal in many ways, by the actions of the adults.

“Was Dykes on sinking boat”

All 12 on sinking boat survived.

“or boat that hit it ?”

Boat was not hit.

RIP, Sir. Hope your life was not lost for something as stupid as failure to replace the hull plug.

Was Dykes vaxxed ?

I still believe we are slowly finding out that the vaxxed are more susceptible to dying sooner due to compromised immune systems.

Did his heart give out due to damage ?

We may never find out.
