Nathan Carman Contributed To Boat’s Sinking: Judge

MIDDLETOWN, CT — A federal judge ruled Monday that Nathan Carman made faulty repairs that contributed to the sinking of his boat off Rhode Island, which led to his mother being lost at sea in 2016, according to NBC Connecticut.

NBC reports the judge rejected an $85,000 insurance claim Carman made for the loss of his boat, the Chicken Pox, and ruled in favor of the insurance company.

Judge John J. McConnell ruled that the policy didn’t cover the loss because Carman made “improper and faulty repairs to his boat that contributed to its sinking,” according to the Hartford Courant.

Carman was rescued by the Orient Lucky freighter while on a life raft in September 2016 after being lost at sea for more than a week. Carman was on fishing trip with his mother, Linda Carman, when the boat sank.

Linda Carman, 54, was never found and is presumed dead.
