VENICE, La. — Investigators are working to find out if weather or wave conditions played a role in a boat accident in the Gulf of Mexico that left four people dead, authorities said yesterday.
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries spokesman Adam Einck said a boat carrying five people took on water and capsized Saturday.
Einck said Heath Dowsey of Alabama, 33, was the only survivor. Einck said three of those who died were from Alabama: Randy Dowsey, the survivor’s father; Wayne Dowsey, the survivor’s uncle; and a woman, Kerri Burns. Einck said Kenny Mock of Metairie, La., also died.
