Overview
- Assistant coroner Luisa Nicholson delivered the accidental death conclusion at Exeter Coroner's Court nearly five years after the 2020 crash.
- Evidence showed the other jet ski was piloted by an instructor, and a female passenger jumped off moments before impact due to the speed.
- A post-mortem found traumatic head and chest injuries as the cause of death, with toxicology showing no alcohol or drugs in Watson's system.
- The inquest heard that those held responsible previously received suspended prison sentences and fines.
- Watson's partner, Charlotte Lescott, witnessed the crash while holding their four-month-old after the family's recent move to Dubai, later facing financial strain when she learned a life-insurance policy had been cancelled.
