The families of the two men who were killed in addition to MLB pitcher Jose Fernandez in a 2016 boat crash have settled their lawsuit against his estate, according to the Associated Press.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission found that Fernandez was operating the boat when it crashed off Miami Beach on September 25, 2016. A toxicology report released by the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner Department a month later showed that Fernandez had cocaine in his system, and had a blood alcohol level of almost twice the legal limit at the time of his death, when he was said to be operating the boat at 65 miles per hour.

1. Hank Gillette Posted: August 04, 2018 at 11:17 AM (#5720860)I really don't feel bad that his family aren't filthy rich. I feel bad they lost a son/brother/father. But, I feel much worse for the families of the other guys. This was pretty much 100% Fernandez's fault. The families of the two dead guys should have gotten 100% of Fernandez's estate.
That's would be OK by me.
But, I would say the families of the other two guys clearly deserve it more than the family of Fernandez. They were stupid. He was criminal. He flat out killed two people through extreme recklessness. If he had survived, he'd belong in jail.
Yeah, good luck with that one.
