American Airlines flight attendant killed in apparent boat strike off Florida beach

Kellie Williams, 31, an American Airlines flight attendant, was killed by a boat strike while snorkeling in Florida, leaving her recently married family and colleagues grieving.

On a June afternoon in Florida, a young woman who had recently begun a new life near the sea went into the water she loved and did not return. Kellie Williams, thirty-one years old, a flight attendant and avid snorkeler, was found dead off Hollywood Beach with injuries consistent with a boat strike — a reminder of how swiftly the ordinary can become irreversible. Her death has opened an investigation that asks not only who was responsible, but what failures of awareness or caution may have made the water dangerous for those beneath its surface.
