Let's see, recently married, goes out with sister, drinks too much, (who knows what was in the drinks?) leaves with person (man) she just meant too drunk to brace one self in golf cart with another drunk. Pretty irresponsible to me. But, this is where alcohol or drug problem can get you.

Bottom line no matter how educated, well off, or rich you are you can make stupid mistakes when inebriated. Just really sad!

True, alcohol does make you lose judgement but, if you already have a "wild side" it will only make you worse.

Not blaming the victim but she certainly has some responsibility in her own death.

I agree with every word. I read her obituary and comments made by people who knew her. She was a usually responsible woman who worked every day and was visiting her parents from Ft. Myers.

Decent people don't drag someone to a flower bed and leave them there. Moments may have counted with her head injury.

Terribly wrong and sad in my view.

As usual, we just don't know enough to pass judgement.

Define "wild side"----likes to drink?, life of the party?, takes silly risks?, promiscuous?

Define "drunk"-----.08?, .12?, .31?

However, I think we can all agree that dragging her out into the bushes constitutes, in my opinion, depraved indifference, and I hope they throw the book at the driver.

No, I was never involved in criminal defense or prosecution for that matter. The man's post accident acts of dragging her off the street and abandoning her were heinous and inhumane with total disregard for her life. I am just wondering whether the lady may have been a little negligent, inebriated and/or otherwise careless. Hadn't she had a long evening of drinking herself and voluntarily gotten into a golf cart to be driven by an inebriated man she had just met that night in a bar?

The outcome is tragic, sad and grievous, especially for her family.

I agree with you---if she never got in that cart she'd still be alive. My point was that we just don't know why she got in that cart or what her condition truly was. That, and my opinion that the driver is a SPOS.

That's it in a nutshell.

Here again is an adult child living and partying in TV while the parents turn a blind eye. Just give him the keys to the golf cart, at least he won't kill himself or somebody else, is probably what they're thinking. Now, the parents will probably have to mortgage their home while they hire some Orlando lawyers to keep him out of prison. Someday Villagers with adult children will get the message. The Villages is not their playground while they try and get their life back together. If you see this guy out drinking call 911, he has allegedly caused the death of another person while driving a cart in TV intoxicated.

You're right, he's innocent until proven guilty. However, with his own comments of why he didn't call the police was because he had been drinking, I think it's safe to say he has enough of his own problems.

I also think back to an earlier thread where a poster said she was sure she had seen him earlier in the day drunk in the Traverse Publix, and I posted the phrase, 'See Something - Say Something', why didn't you call the police then?, and I got no response. We all have to take a hand in controlling our community, and this message board is a great place to start.

I have no love for this guy, I already made my opinion known. I'm just looking out for you. On a public forum, phrases such as "In my opinion", "It is possible that...", "It has been reported", and "allegedly" go a long way toward self preservation.

OK Doc, I took your advice and added allegedly, so delete your copy of my post with the photo.

Tragic all the way around for all involved.

One fact no one has commented upon is that TV has no close by trauma center. This is a total shame with such a large population and growing.
How does a quality center get established? Guess it needs a hospital for immediate potential surgeries? Or can a free standing trauma center contain a surgical suite equipped to handle most trauma emergencies?
Tradewinds land would be a good location for this much needed service.
