Juan Carlos Escotet Alviarez, 31, dove into the ocean after his fiancée, Andrea Montero, had fallen into the water during a fishing competition in the Florida Keys. Ms Montero, 30, managed to stay clear of the propellers and avoid serious injury before she was safely pulled from the water. However, Mr Alviarez hit the propeller immediately upon entering the water and died from his injuries. The couple were due to marry in November. Lindsey Partridge, 22, also died away in boating tragedy in March. She was on a boat in Florida with her boyfriend when a rogue wave reportedly swept her off the vessel. The couple was only 150 yards offshore just afternoon near the Boca Raton Beach Club when a 23-foot wave crashed over the boat, sweeping Ms Partridge overboard. Her boyfriend Jacob Smith, 24, tried to manoeuvre the boat back to pick up his girlfriend, but was unsuccessful. Lifeguards from a nearby beach club retrieved Ms Partridge and swam her back to shore. She was taken to hospital but had appeared to have suffered a fatal head injury and could not be revived.
