Police called on the public today to help with their investigation into a marine incident which resulted in the death of a powerboat pilot.

Rickai Raynor, 28, died in a crash which happened at about 3.45pm on Sunday in Hamilton Harbour, in the area of the Lower Ferry site in Paget when he competed in an event.

The Bermuda Police Service urged anyone who may have recordings of the race to come forward.

Earlier, police said the powerboat pilot sustained a life-threatening head injury and was left unresponsive.

He was attended to at the scene by EMTs, but was subsequently pronounced dead by an on-call medical doctor.

The co-pilot of the vessel — who suffered a head injury — was also attended to at the scene by EMTs before he was transferred by ambulance to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for treatment.

Anyone with information was asked to call Acting Chief Inspector Anthony Smith on 247-1431 or to e-mail asmith@bps.bm.
