They died because of their lack of maritime experience. You can find drunk people on lakes all over America on any given summer day. Same goes for Tampa Bay, the LA South Bay, the eastern side of Florida and any number of bodies of water.

It's pretty hard to kill yourself in center console boat, unless you're inexperienced and horsing around at night in an unfamiliar location. Even then, it's pretty hard to kill yourself.

The investigation couldn't determine who was piloting the boat. One guy had no cocaine in his system and the other two had less BAC than Fernandez. That said, an experienced boater, even when "drunk", wouldn't have crashed that boat into the rocks.

Fair enough. The boat was a 32' SeaVee with a top speed of 70 mph or so, there is a strong possibility Fernandez was driving, it was his boat. He was drunk and hopped up on coke. Maybe if he was not drunk and on drugs these guys don't even try and go out on the water? It's all speculation now.
