It was 5 in the evening on the sixth, and last day, of what Simon Crewe, a 57-year-old carpenter from Leicestershire, England, called a “dream Greek holiday.” As a final treat, he and his brother David and a friend signed up for a ride on a yellow inflatable sofa pulled by a speedboat off the island of Cephalonia, in the Ionian Sea just west of the Greek mainland (pictured above). Simon Crewe’s partner, Vicki David, was on the speedboat, taking a holiday video.
They had just started, when David Crewe said he heard “a massive bang,” and something hit his head. The friend was thrown in the air and landed in the water, unconscious. Only after he jumped overboard to help the unconscious friend did David Crewe realize that his brother also was unconscious. Simon Crewe died from the accident; the friend is still in the hospital. Vicki David has turned over her video to the Greek police, who are investigating. For more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4544198/British-father-dies-falling-inflatable-sofa.html
