A 16-year-old British schoolgirl, Abigail Lainton, dies after a boat explosion during a family holiday in the Caribbean, an inquest hears. The report says Lainton, from Swindon, dies on 30 July, about three days after the incident during a boat trip off the coast of the Dominican Republic.
According to the inquest information cited, she suffers burns to around 60% of her body. The accounts focus on her injuries and the timeline from the boat incident to her death, rather than on the circumstances that led to the explosion itself. With the information provided here drawing only from the same outlet’s report, there is no clear difference in framing or additional details about causes, witnesses, or ongoing investigations across sources.
