- 2 years ago
A British man, who died after being thrown from his yacht, when it hit rocks off an Italian island, has been identified as a millionaire company director.
Dean Kronsbein, 61, was on the deck of his 70ft yacht Amore, with his wife and daughter on Sunday, when the captain was forced to take, evasive action to avoid another boat.
The vessel ploughed into a stretch of rocks, and lost its bow in the force of the impact, which happened at Il Nibani, just off the coast of Porto Cervo on the island of Sardinia.
Mr Kronsbein was pulled from the water, by a passing Maltese flagged yacht, but despite attempts to save him, was declared dead onboard.
His wife Sabine, 59, and daughter Sophia, 27, were also seriously injured, and taken to a hospital at Olbia, before being transferred to a more specialist unit, at Sassari 60 miles away.
