Poole Harbour death alcohol concerns raised by coroner

A coroner has raised concerns over the death of a sailor who was riding in a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) which crashed into a navigation buoy.

David Haw, 24, from Newick, East Sussex, fell into Poole Harbour, Dorset, in May 2022 and was found dead 12 days later.

The RIB’s helmsman, Morgan Smith, from Northampton, was later jailed for three years for gross negligence manslaughter.

However, Dorset senior coroner Rachael Griffin said she was concerned that it was “not illegal to helm a pleasure vessel under the influence of alcohol or drugs”.
