Investigators have not determined the cause of the fire aboard the California dive boat that sank last week, a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation said, noting the boat has not even been brought to the surface
The Conception sank off the Southern California coast on Labor Day following a fire that claimed the lives of 34 passengers.The official noted that any reporting about the cause would be speculative. Weather conditions have prevented efforts to surface the boat. Authorities believe conditions may be favorable to bring the ship above water Wednesday.
"Of the 39 people who were aboard the 75-foot dive boat Conception that weekend, only five crew members were found alive. The others, who were in the lower sleeping deck, likely got trapped when the fire blocked their escape, authorities have said. Preliminary indications are that the victims' cause of death was smoke inhalation and that the passengers died"prior to being burned," Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said Friday.
