Cole Fisher and Chase Fisher Death and Obituary; Two Brothers Killed in Boating Accident
Two teenager, Cole and Chase Fisher were involved in a fatal boat accident, their jet ski collided with a boat which resulted in a fatal injury and death of the two brothers.
Strunk says the victims were brothers, 18-year-old Chase Fisher and 14-year-old Cole Fisher, from Villa Hills in Kenton County. They were both on the jet ski.
“My heart breaks, My heart grieves for them, but summertime in our part of the world here, our lives are sometimes filled with grief because of what takes place on the lake,” said Strunk.
Strunk says both boys were wearing life jackets, and he believes alcohol was not a factor in the incident, but the lake itself has its own set of risks.
“The water narrows up south fork. To a point that sometimes it’s not very wide. If you have multiple crafts in that area, it makes the passing lanes somewhat narrower,” Strunk said.
Strunk says from Memorial Day to Labor Day, they can see an excess of 100,000 people in the County. While people come to enjoy the summer activities, he says it’s important to do so safely.
“We live in one of the most beautiful places in the world, especially in Kentucky. We’re blessed, but at the same time, it’s a very dangerous place,” said Strunk.
