Supporters rally around surviving Taieri Mouth boating tragedy family members

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

A family who lost a child when their boat capsized during an Easter weekend outing are “indispensable” members of Dunedin's Japanese community, a friend says.

The five-metre vessel flipped as it tried to cross the bar at Taieri Mouth, 34km south of Dunedin, on Saturday.

Attempts to revive a 2-year-old girl, who was later pulled out from under the partially submerged boat, were unsuccessful. She later died in Dunedin Hospital. An older sibling remains in a critical condition, while the mother, father and another child were released on Sunday.

Our thoughts are with the family and their loved ones at this tragic time.
