Release Date: 07/02/2014
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) Enforcement Division agents are investigating a fatal boating incident on the Amite River in Livingston Parish on July 1.
LDWF agents were notified about a single vessel incident around 6:30 p.m. involving a husband and wife of Livingston Parish.
It is believed at this time that the 17 foot surface drive vessel operated by Richard Ledoux, 58, hit a tree near the bank in the Killian area near Pete’s Landing. The collision with the tree resulted in the death of Deborah Ledoux, 59, and injuries for Richard.
Richard was airlifted to the Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge for treatment. It is not suspected that his injuries are life threatening at this time.
Deborah's body was turned over to the Livingston Parish Coroner’s Office. An autopsy will be performed to determine a cause of death.
LDWF will be the lead investigative agency for this fatal boating incident.

Will be interesting to hear what happened. I'm sure a blood sample was taken for toxicology, but it wouldn't surprise me if they

they suspect the husband was driving the couple’s 17-foot, aluminum shallow-draft boat, possibly searching for their turtle traps in the area, when they hit a tree

The couple, who were not thrown from the boat, both sustained trauma-type injuries

This is terrible to hear. I can't imagine driving a boat/ vehicle and being responsible for killing someone be it accident or not; but having my wife or child die with me behind the wheel would most likely leave me not wanting to live afterwards.
This is a tragedy to hear. Prayers sent to the family and friends.
