Victim's Husband Sues Following 2011 Fatal Boat Explosion
The man who lost his wife in a 2011
boat explosion is suing the Erie Yacht Club and the owners of the boat in Erie
County Court.
Ryan Carlisle's 25 year old wife Erin
was killed when a boat owned by Aaron Hertel and Michael Brown exploded moments
after fueling up at the Erie Yacht Club on Memorial Day in 2011.
Officials ruled the explosion an
accident.
Carlisle, acting as the administrator for
his late wife's estate, still works as a physical therapist for Hertel and Brown.
According to court documents, Carlisle is suing for negligence and
wrongful death among other counts.
Carlisle and his wife, Brown, Hertel and his
2 year old son were blown from the boat when it exploded.
Parties being sued have 20 days to respond.
