Wassiou Ayawe Moran died in the accident at Lough Derg, Killaloe on May 31st last
A 19-year old promising Limerick soccer player drowned in a jet ski accident after giving his life jacket to a teenage female passenger before she got on the jet ski.
The inquest heard that when he went into the water in an area known as ‘Between the Waters’, Mr Moran had two female passengers on the jet-ski and only one of the girls - a girl from Limerick - was wearing a life jacket at the time and that was given to her by Wassiou before she got on. In a deposition, the north Tipperary teenager told the inquest that shortly after getting on the jet-ski “when we went towards the bridge, he started doing tricks and doughnuts”. Her Limerick friend said: “The jet-ski took off towards the bridge, it was going too fast." The north Tipperary girl said that the three fell off the jet-ski the first time Wassiou turned the jet ski slightly and the three were able to get on the jet ski again.
Mr Hennigar said the jet ski was on the water for about 30 minutes before the accident. Mr Hennigar said that he didn’t see the jet-ski driver come off the jet ski but did see “one hand up and a head below the water” and the jet ski was 10 yards away. Mr Hennigar said that the male "was gone in seconds under the water”.
