David Scarborough had just concluded a two-week shift and was on his way home to spend Christmas with his family after eight years of working offshore.
Lacy, his wife, is expecting their second child after losing their first child to unintentional drowning in March. Scarborough was also the nephew of a WLOX team member.

According to a Thursday night story in the Clarke County Tribune, Graham was one of four men on board.
We contacted Graham’s relatives in order to learn more about him.
According to US Coast Guard officer Jose Hernandez, the helicopter is owned by Rotorcraft Leasing Company.
The company has not yet issued a statement regarding the accident or the identities of the passengers or the pilot.
This was the aircraft manufacturer’s third crash in 2022. On December 15, a Rotorcraft helicopter crashed near Terrebonne Bay, Louisiana, leaving three passengers stranded.
This was the most recent incident. The passengers were eventually rescued by the American Coast Guard.
A Rotorcraft helicopter crashed into a swamp near Lafourche Parish on January 14, killing the pilot and a passenger. This was the first deadly accident of the year.
The National Transportation Safety Board confirmed on Thursday that it was investigating the most recent crash.
Case Update: Helicopter Crash in the Gulf of Mexico
According to a check of the NTSB records, 12 more Rotorcraft crashes with 10 fatalities occurred after 2004.
The NTSB results for all three of the Company’s crashes in 2022 have yet to be published.
The NTSB website states that the agency attempts to complete an investigation within 12 to 24 months, but this can vary depending on the complexity of the investigation and the workload of its investigators.
We are attempting to learn more about the Company, the other occupants of the aircraft, including the pilot, and the specific aircraft that crashed.
