On Thursday, Vaughan and her family chartered the 29-foot speedboat with a skipper from the town of Nerano and were touring the breathtaking Furore fjord, when the vessel made an unexpected 180-degree turn and slammed into the 130-foot “Tortuga,” local media said. Vaughan was rescued from the water and taken to shore, where first responders fought to save her life by performing CPR.
Vaughan became president of the prestigious Bloomsbury USA in September 2021, after serving as executive director and COO for a year.
