FORT WALTON BEACH, FL. (THECOUNT) — Judsen Cunningham, the Florida man on trial in the 2016 boating crash that killed two people, was found dead Thursday morning of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
A Florida circuit judge convened court Thursday morning declaring a mistrial in Cunningham’s double-fatal boating-under-the-influence case and dismissed the jury.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office says deputies responded to Cunningham’s home earlier Thursday morning and found him dead with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, reports journalstar.
Prosecutors had spent two days building a case against Cunningham in the March 2016 crash.
Witnesses testified that he had been drinking and operating a boat with 11 other young people on board when it crashed into a jetty in Destin’s East Pass, killing Avery Hatchett and Anna Sorokina.
