It is very important investigators look at those things.
There are things about this incident that cause concern and other things that could have been just a tragic accident. It could go either way at this point until investigators make a determination.
Investigators need to look at:
-Was there life insurance policy or any recent changes to it?
-Timing of incident. He was rescued in very early morning hours in the dark and so what was she doing topside at that time while he was not topside? What was he doing at that time?
-The boat did not sink and was found by rescuers. How far away from boat was the lifeboat?
-He said they hit something. They need to get the boat and look for marks underneath it. There should be some marks on whatever they hit.
-Did anybody report any recent squabbles or trouble the couple was having? Money issues?
-Listen to any communications he may have had to rescuers.
-Pull his computers and see if he looked up any recent cases of missing at sea or accidents or anything suspicous that could lead to him possibly doing something on purpose.
-I found the case I was talking about that is very similar to this. All computers and phones he had should be scanned to see if he researched anything like this case.

I hope investigators thoroughly research this case because there is quite a few things that could make the case seem suspicous.
Accidents happen but his/her luck would have had to have been really bad for things to go down the way it is being described.
I struggle to see how if the boat hit something how he could not have run topside and called out for her and somehow saved her. The way the story is being told is he did not find her anywhere and no sign of her. That is the part that does not make sense if they hit something. Unless she was knocked out when overboard. That really is the only way and I am not sure anything could have hit her head unless she maybe hit the same rock going overboard. If so then he should have had a flashlight to still see her in the water I would think.
Unless someone sinks right away if knocked out. I am not sure if people sink if knocked out. I know bodies can sink but not sure what happens when someone first goes in water and is knocked out.
I know a person can sink if all air out of lungs. We used to do that in the pool so I guess its possible she sank if all air out of lungs. But a body will naturally breath even if knocked out unless she inhaled water and then drowned I suppose.
So many questions. Investigators really have a lot of work to do and I hope they do a good job with this one.
