A tourist who was CEO of the American arm of the British publisher that launched Harry Potter in the UK was killed off Italy’s Amalfi Coast after the motorboat she was riding on with her family collided with a sailing vessel rented for special events. The captain of the sailboat did not test positive for any substances and is not under investigation, the prosecutor’s office said. Both boats were approaching the Fiordo di Furore area of the Amalfi Coast around 6 p.m. local time on Friday when the accident occurred. Vaughan was thrown into the water and died after being injured by the Tortuga’s propellers, the Salerno prosecutor’s office confirmed. The Amalfi Coast Guard unit responded to the accident.
