UPDATE: Flying Stingray Incident
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008
A medical examiner has confirmed that the Michigan boater who was killed when a ray jumped out of the water in the Florida Keys and hit her face died of skull fractures and brain injuries.
Judy Kay Zagorski, 57, was in the front of a boat going about 24 mph on Thursday when a 75 lb spotted eagle ray leapt from the water and hit her in a freak collision.
Monroe County’s medical examiner, Dr. Michael Hunter, determined that the cause of death was “blunt force” head injury and that the collision with the ray killed her.
His report says she was not stung by the ray.
