Body found off Dungeness believed to be that of missing kayaker
A body has been pulled from the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Clallam County Sheriff's Office believes it is that of a kayaker who went missing in May. On May 13, 21-year-old Ty Coone called 911 for himself to report that the was drowning and struggling in the water. His phone's GPS placed him north of Cline Spit. Deputies say Coone's kayak, life vest, and paddle were recovered that day, but he was no where to be found. The search and rescue team says they believe Coone was fishing from his kayak when he fell in. The U.S. Coast Guard was called in to help with the search. A body was pulled off Dungeness on June 1. Law enforcement will need to wait until official dental comparisons confirm that the body is Coone's, but they believe it is. Coone's friend, Bryson Morris, started a GoFundMe for his family. 'Ty was one of a kind—full of life, laughter, and love. From dirtbike tracks to bonfire nights, he brought people together and made every moment unforgettable,' He wrote. 'His spirit, humor, and kindness touched so many lives, and now it's our turn to give back and lay him to rest with the love and dignity he deserves.' The hope is to raise enough for a burial and headstone. Coone's family held a Sequim memorial service on May 31 at Sequim Community Church. Another local Celebration of Life is set for 7 p.m. Saturday, June 14 at the big barn at 702 Kitchen-Dick Road in Sequim, with music, food and a slideshow, according to the Sequim Gazette.

EV-Fueled Inferno Forces Crew To Abandon Ship Carrying 3,000 Cars Across Pacific
If fire departments on land have problems unleashing the torrent of water needed to extinguish a single burning EV, the crew of a ship doesn't stand a chance against hundreds of flaming lithium-ion batteries. A cargo ship carrying around 3,000 vehicles across the Pacific Ocean caught fire on Tuesday. The Morning Midas, a 600-foot cargo ship, was in the middle of a voyage from Yantai, China to Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico when the fire broke out. Zodiac Maritime, the ship's London-based operator, noted that smoke was first spotted on a deck carrying 800 electric vehicles. Once the blaze got out of control, the vessel's 22 crew members abandoned ship via lifeboat. With the ship roughly 300 southwest of Alaska, the U.S. Coast Guard dispatched aircrews and a cutter to respond to the emergency, according to Bloomberg. The evacuating crew on the lifeboat was transferred by the USCG to one of the three other merchants at the scene, helping to fight the fire. Zodiac Maritime wouldn't comment on which automaker's vehicles were burning to a crisp. This is an ongoing story, and we will update when we know more about the fate of the Morning Midas. Read more: These V6 Engines Put The LS1 V8 To Shame The inferno on Morning Midas will remind many of the Felicity Ace fire in 2022. The 650-foot cargo vessel burst into flames while carrying 4,000 cars built by Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche and Volkswagen. Despite the hope of towing the ship to port once the fire was put out, Felicia Ace sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. The lithium-ion batteries fitted to the EV onboard kept the fire burning much longer than expected. One of the cars that ended up on the seafloor was a Porsche Boxster Spyder ordered by Matt Farah, host of The Smoking Tire. He was just glad that the ship's crew escaped unharmed. Fighting EV fires in the middle of an ocean is a tall task for any crew. It often takes tens of thousands of gallons of water to douse a burning lithium-ion battery. While it might seem straightforward to put a pump over the side and use saltwater to put out the flames, it's not a viable option. The salt in ocean water is electrically conductive and would fuel an ongoing blaze. Current guidelines for crews emphasize early detection and limiting water use by letting EVs burn while containing any potential spreading. We're going to need better ways to fight battery fires if electric vehicles are going to be far more numerous. Want more like this?

2 Men Charged in Death of 15-Year-Old Ballerina Who Was Hit by a Boat While Wakeboarding in Florida
After a "thorough investigation" into the May 2024 death of 15-year-old Ella Adler, two men have been charged by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Adler was fatally struck by a boat after falling while wakeboarding on May 11, 2024 Carlos Guillermo Alonso and Edmund Richard Hartley have been charged with multiple misdemeanors for their alleged involvement in the tragedyTwo men have been charged in the death of Ella Adler, a 15-year-old ballerina who was killed in a boating accident in May 2024. Adler was fatally struck by a boat after falling while wakeboarding on May 11 on a beach in Key Biscayne, Florida. In a statement shared on Instagram at the time, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) revealed that they were searching for the driver of the boat that allegedly hit Adler after it left the scene. Carlos Guillermo Alonso was later identified as the owner, according to an incident report reviewed by PEOPLE in May 2024. At the time, no charges had been handed down. After a "thorough investigation" conducted by the FWC, Alonso and Edmund Richard Hartley, who was driving the boat towing Adler, have both been charged with multiple misdemeanors, the FWC confirmed to PEOPLE. According to a FWC statement obtained by PEOPLE, Alonso was charged with Violation of U.S. Coast Guard Navigational Rule #2 – Responsibility and Violation of U.S. Coast Guard Navigational Rule #5 – Look-out. Hartley received four charges: Violation of U.S. Coast Guard Navigational Rule #2 – Responsibility, Violation of U.S. Coast Guard Navigational Rule #5 – Look-out, Violation of U.S. Coast Guard Navigational Rule #7 – Risk of Collision and Violation of U.S. Coast Guard Navigational Rule #8 – Action to Avoid Collision. They have both pleaded not guilty, according to the Associated Press. The charges were handed down in April 2025 and are all related to Careless Operation of a Vessel. "The FWC extends its deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Ella Adler. Our thoughts remain with them as they continue to cope with this unimaginable loss," the organization said in the statement. Lauren Field Krasnoff, a lawyer representing Alonso, spoke out about the tragedy in May 2024, saying that he "had absolutely no idea" that he allegedly struck Adler and that he was "as devastated as anybody could be," per NBC 6. 'We are devastated for the Adlers, for their friends, their family, there's no question in our minds that this is a absolutely horrific thing that happened and we pray for and think of their family and friends during this time,' Krasnoff said. At the time, Krasnoff said that Alonso was working with the police on the investigation. 'He has had no contact with the criminal system. He does not drink, and he was not drinking on that Saturday,' she added. According to the incident report PEOPLE reviewed in 2024, Alonso was only on the boat with one other person at the time of the accident. It was not clear then if he was driving the vehicle. PEOPLE reached out to Krasnoff for additional comment on Wednesday, June 4. In her obituary, Adler was described as "a force of nature." "When she was near, everyone felt a gravitational pull toward her," the tribute read, adding that "she emanated love and joy." Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

She also danced in high school and had recently appeared in a school play. "She was loyal. She was compassionate. She always believed in speaking up for what was right and she always spoke her mind, but with warmth and grace," the obituary read. Read the original article on People
