Mary Elizabeth McKee died aged 62 when a boat being driven by a local man collided with the inflatable vessel carrying Ms McKee and two other visitors.

They were all thrown overboard.

Bermuda police said Ms McKee's husband, 69, and a man from Britain, 26, were still being treated for their injuries.

Mr McKee was expected to be discharged from hospital today, while the younger man would be airlifted overseas for further treatment.

The local boat driver was arrested and has been released on bail with strict conditions.
