A José Fernández with excess alcohol and drugs in the blood was at the helm of the boat that at full speed crashed into a breakwater in Miami Beach, FL, causing the death of the star player of the Marlins and his two companions in that tragic night.

That is the official conclusion of the investigation launched by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission after the tragedy that mourned South Florida and the world of baseball last September, which lost one of its future stars.

The report released this Thursday indicates that, had he survived, Fernández would have been charged with a long list of crimes, including murder, for his responsibility to captain the boat at full speed and under the influence of narcotics and alcohol.

According to The Miami Herald, investigators came to that conclusion after finding similarities between the damage caused by the impact on the ship's bridge and the injuries sustained by the player, whose DNA was found at the helm and controls.

At the time of the collision with the breakwater rocks, the boat was traveling at more than 65 mph, above the maximum speed of the boat.

"Fernández operated [the boat] with his normal powers diminished, recklessly, at extreme speed, in the dark of night, in an area with known navigation hazards, such as breakwaters and canal signposts," he points out. the report, contradicting the position of the launcher's attorneys that his client was not in command of the boat when it crashed.

In the accident that occurred on the morning of September 25, Emilio Jesús Macías, 27, and Eduardo Rivero, 25, also died, whose families filed a lawsuit a few weeks ago against the player's estate in which they claim compensation for their artida mother, Maritza Gómez Fernández, and young María Arias, who recently gave birth to a daughter of the athlete.

The daughter she did not meet, Penélope Arias, is expected to be named her sole beneficiary of Fernández's estate, who could be among the So and that whenever they need to extract funds, both Arias and Gómez must obtain permission from the court.

"The fact that José would be earning $ 300 million over a 10-year contract is correct," family lawyer Ralph Fernández told Miami's WLPG Local 10 (ABC) channel. "But that's not what he had. That is not what Maria's girl will have, nor what [Gómez's] granddaughter will have, they were not at that point. What they do have are the sweet memories of an individual who changed the city and this state. ''
