TMZ reports the boat featured on Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch” capsized may be cursed. The Mary B II was located near the coast of Oregon when it capsized, and three crew members died.
The Oregon State Police said in a news release that around 10 p.m. The fisherman on the ship requested help from the United States Coast Guard (USCG) for help crossing the Yaquina Bay bar because of rough seas.
At 10:13 p.m. PT, they were alerted that the boat capsized with three people onboard.
The Discovery Channel told Fox News that the crew and captain on the ship were not the individuals featured on “The Deadliest Catch.”
The USCG Pacific Northwest was on the scene as the accident was occurring. They tweeted that the first responder had to deal with 12 to 14-foot waves. There were also reports that waves as high as 16 to 20-feet.
The first individual, James Lacey age 48, was recovered at 11:20 p.m. He was transported to the hospital by helicopter where he was pronounced dead. The body of the second passenger, 50-year-old Joshua Porter was found washed up on the beach. Fifty-year-old Stephen Biernacki, the boat’s captain, was found on the boat dead.
