Simpson’s Autopsy Report Released

Simpson died when Artemis Racing’s 72-ft training cat capsized and broke in two, throwing team members into the water. Though it’s unknown if Simpson was conscious at the time, extensive head and neck trauma, along with substantial injuries to his torso might indicate he wasn’t. He was trapped under the capsized boat for 10 minutes before being rushed to shore. Three attempts to revive him failed. His death prompted AC officials to add 37 safety recommendations to the event.
