News just reported toxicology reports came back. Cocaine and 2 X legal alcohol level.
And that, there, is the answer.
They rolled the dice and lost.
RIP guys.

When you put blow up your nose and booze in your gut and then choose to go boating at 3:00 am and kill everybody on your boat it is called manslaughter - not an accident - unless of course your poor decision also results in your own death. What an unbelievably low and pathetic bar you set for any young person who achieves success. Pathetic.
FYI Jose's lawyers are already saying he wasn't driving but rather on the phone with a 3rd party.......so this could be a distracted operating, BUI case or simply an unexperienced operator (one of the friend's driving) case.
Whether 60 mph or 160 mph it is still seen as reckless high performance boating from the public's standpoint.

And about the rolemodel's comment made somewhere above, ball players aren't hero's, I don't care what their association and tax laws force them to do in the community. Prime example here with Jose's blow and alcohol problem after hours. You never know what someone does behind closed doors. I'm a UF alumni; however, wouldn't be surprised to find out Tim Tebow pulls the heads off kittens at night.

Really no surprises. Drugs, Alcohol and hauling ass at night are 3 strikes. My sympathy bucket for HIM doth not overflow. I'm not perfect, but if I had that much money I'd be smart enough to hire a sober operator. Hell, I uber everywhere just to be safe and I don't have 2 nickels to rub together.
Also, I think it's a sad dilution of the term Role-Model. I would hate to think that one of my young children looked up to someone like this. I don't want my children to aspire to do coke and run my boat around after dark. There are much greater heroes.

Local paper noted Jose's DNA was found on the wheel/throttles and his fade was crushed between the jetty and the boat. GPS indicated 67 mph and the jetty was noted on the screen but he didn't notice it. As far as money, the kid probably didn't have 2mm in assets. His mega contract was going to be signed in the offseason.
Lawyers already started suing on behalf of the dead guys and Jose's newborn child. They should just do a 3 way split and not waste the fees.
