The family of New York fashion designer Martha Nolan-O’Slatarra, 33, who is reported to have been found dead aboard a yacht at a Montauk yacht club, says it plans to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit. Multiple outlets report that the family alleges the designer was killed by the yacht’s owner, identified as Christopher Durnan, an investor associated with her company. According to the reports, the case will be filed in Manhattan civil court and is described as seeking $50 million in damages. The family’s legal action is framed as a claim that the circumstances surrounding the death involve the conduct of the yacht owner or related parties. The coverage focuses on the planned civil filing and the family’s accusations, rather than establishing findings of responsibility. The reports do not provide additional confirmed details about the cause of death or the results of any related investigation at the time of publication.
