The captain wanted to avoid Berlusconi’s boat
The masked millionaire († 61) died in a boating accident in Sardinia
On Sunday evening, the 21-meter-long “Amor” collided with rocks out of the water near the Nipani Islands. The owner of the boat, Dean Kronsbein, was thrown overboard. His wife and daughter were hospitalized with serious injuries.
The family was riding a wave of happiness – until that fateful Sunday evening. Ultrafilter Medical Ltd. ’s CEO, Dean Kronsbein († 61), made a fortune in Great Britain with his ultra-thin corona masks. He bought a villa on the Costa Smeralda and the proud yacht “Amor”. On August 1, the family left for a tour.
8:45 p.m. The entrepreneur’s 21-meter yacht Magnum sails past the tiny Nipani Islands from Porto Cervo at dusk. Suddenly the captain turned the steering wheel. The ship hit a rock sticking out of the water. On impact, Dean Kronsbein was thrown overboard. Four others were injured. The bow is broken. The boat begins to sink.
Three boats at the same time
Five minutes later “Mayday” continues. Two other boats rush in and administer first aid. A luxury yacht is the “Sweet Dragon” owned by the family of Silvio Berlusconi (85). His role in the crash is currently being investigated by investigators. Doubts that “Amor” pushed “Sweet Dragon” aside.
The crew tends to the injured, pulls the masked billionaire out of the water, and brings the crash victims to Porto Cervo harbor. There, paramedics and paramedics attempt to revive Kronsbein. A native German with a British passport dies at sea. His daughter (27) immediately attends neurosurgery at a specialist hospital in Sassari, 90 kilometers away. He will undergo head surgery on Tuesday morning. Kronsbein’s wife, 59, is in hospital in Olbia with multiple fractures. As soon as health permits, the two women will be flown to a private clinic in Great Britain.
Prosecutors are investigating involuntary manslaughter
Meanwhile, Sardinian police and prosecutors are investigating the killing and bodily injury. The two captains of “Amor” and the Berlusconi ship “Sweet Dragon” are in their sights. In an early interview, Kronsbein said the boat’s captain steered the ship to the left to avoid colliding with the “Sweet Dragon.” He didn’t see the rock. Italian media reported. Apparently, the two boats were heading in the same direction, but then came very close. Commander of the Northern Coast Guard, Giovanni Ganu, also doubted the speeding up in an interview with “Union Sarda”.
An autopsy on Dean Kronsbein’s body is expected to determine his cause of death Friday. According to preliminary findings, the masked millionaire died of a heart attack. A family physician will be present at the autopsy. Speaking to the “Daily Mail”, the family’s lawyer, Egidio Garreda, says: “It’s a shock for the family”. They want clarity on Dean Kronsbein’s death.
