In the water, Fuddy held hands with deputy director Keith Yamamoto as he tried to help her relax, said the Rev. Patrick Killilea, who consoled Yamamoto after the ordeal.
“He recounted how he said he helped Loretta into her life jacket and he held her hand for some time,” the priest said. “They were all floating together and she let go and there was no response from her.”
That doesn’t sound like a drowning. That sounds like they’re going to try to claim a heart attack.
If he was holding her hand trying to get her to relax, they must not have been in imminent danger, because if they were in imminent danger he would have tried to help her GET OUT - not relax. Yet it was said that they found her in the fuselage, and another place it said they found the aircraft with its tail sticking out of the water, so that makes it seem like she died of drowning in the fuselage - not floating around with the others and just “let me” (let go the hand, let go of life, or what?).
None of the story line we’re being given makes sense to me. Why didn’t the pilot call for help? Why did the president of the company try to say that he couldn’t call for help in the same breath as saying that another pilot circling the area was able to call for help? If she was inside the fuselage, why didn’t the deputy director help get her out, instead of trying to calm her down?
