His elder brother was the only person involved in this voyage who was seen or heard from after 8 July 2002.
As such, Dabord was the only 1st-person source of information regarding this case. However, he intentionally overdosed on insulin and slipped into a coma. Then on 27 September 2002, the basketballer’s elder brother died in a California hospital.
The basketballer’s brother had shared that the two siblings had fought and during the event, Karlan had been accidentally hit. The basketballer’s lover died when her head struck part of the boat. During this time, Bertrand Saldo wanted to report Serena’s death. However, a panicked Dele killed him as Dabord shared. In self-defense, the elder brother shot the basketballer and threw the bodies overboard.
