A 31-year-old woman was killed after she was struck by a passing boat off the coast of Miami, Florida, on Wednesday, June 3.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) officers said the body of California native Kellie Melinda Williams was found and recovered by two fishermen at around 20:00 local time on Wednesday at the Hollywood Beach diving spot between Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
FWC officers told news outlet CBS Miami that Williams had been snorkelling earlier that same day near the area where her body was found and that the injuries she suffered were, "consistent with a vessel strike."
Police officials have confirmed Williams' identity and have ruled that her death was caused by blunt force injuries.
The FWC has since begun an investigation into the incident in collaboration with Florida's Hollywood Police. No details on the suspect vessel's identity have yet been provided and no formal charges have been filed.
