Adrienne Vaughan, the president of Bloomsbury Publishing Inc., has died in a tragic speedboat accident off Italy's Amalfi Coast. The rented motorboat she was on crashed into a sailboat, throwing her into the water where she was struck multiple times by the motorboat's propeller. Vaughan was pulled out of the water but died before a helicopter ambulance arrived. Her husband was hospitalized with a shoulder injury, while their two children were uninjured. The skipper of the motorboat, who tested positive for substance use, suffered a broken pelvis and ribs. The Italian coast guard is investigating the crash.
