Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary is "devastated" after his involvement in a boating accident that left a man dead and a woman critically injured.
Kevin and his wife Linda were reportedly on Lake Joseph in Ontario, Canada, when their boat allegedly rammed into a larger boat, going over its bow, and striking a man in the head, according to the Ontario Provincial Police, who confirmed with Us Weekly. He was killed instantly. The tragic events took place around 11:30 p.m.
Kevin provided a statement to several outlets confirming the news.
“Late Saturday night I was a passenger in a boat that had a tragic collision with another craft that had no navigation lights on and then fled the scene of the accident. I am fully cooperating with authorities. Out of respect for the families who have lost loved ones and to fully support the ongoing investigation, I feel it is inappropriate to make further comments at this time. My thoughts are with all the families affected.”
NBC News reported that the Ontario Provincial Police issued a release claiming the man who passed away was 64 years old and from Florida. The 48-year-old woman has been taken to the hospital for treatment.
Kevin and his wife allegedly have a house in the area. He posted a photo of Lake Joseph, "where our lake house home is situated," in July.
