When Lawyer Drowned in Gulf, Suspicion Fell on Husband. Three Years Later, It’s Ruled an Accident.
The 2016 death of Blaise Gamba, an associate in the Tampa office of Carlton Fields, has been declared an accident, despite her family’s suspicions that her husband may have been responsible.
The Tampa Bay Times reports on the case, which involved a $1 million life insurance policy and her husband’s alleged infidelity.
Blaise and William Gamba were visiting fishing spots near Tampa in their 22-foot boat when something went horribly awry, writes the Times‘ Kathryn Varn.
William Gamba claimed he was scuba diving when he looked up and saw his wife in distress above him. He hoisted her into the boat and sought help. She was pronounced dead at a hospital the next day.
“Suspicion first turned toward William Gamba five days later, when detectives spoke to two of his wife’s close friends,” Varn writes.
