DOVER, Del. - June 26, 2009- Fish and Wildlife division spokesman Sgt. Gregory Rhodes says
51-year-old Barry Temple was sitting in the rear of the 14-foot
cabin motorboat Thursday with another man when it hit a wave and
Temple fell overboard.
Rhodes says the second man tried to control the boat, but it
circled around several times before the propeller hit Temple.
Authorities say Temple was flown to Bayhealth-Kent General
Hospital in Dover, where he died.
Rhodes says investigators don't believe the accident was alcohol
related.
Officials say this is the first boating-related fatality in
Delaware this year.
