![[Crime Stories with Nancy Grace] PARASAIL NIGHTMARE, Mom DEAD; Husband: ‘Fun is not worth a life’](https://celebjam.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Crime-Stories-with-Nancy-Grace-PARASAIL-NIGHTMARE-Mom-DEAD-Husband.jpg)
An Illinois mom is killed and two children are seriously injured while parasailing.
A storm blew in, affecting the stability of the boat towing the family. Now, the husband of a 33-year-old woman has filed lawsuits naming multiple parties. A preliminary incident report from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission says boat captain Daniel Couch,49, cut the towing cable when the parasail “pegged” in a high gust of wind, threatening to drag his boat.
This resulted in the parasail and the individuals being drug “through and across the surface of the water” and slammed into an abandoned Florida Keys bridge.
Supraja Alaparthi, 33, was dead before another boat captain untangled her and the children from the parasail cables and rushed them to a Marathon restaurant where crews had set up a staging area.
