Beloved actress and singerOlivia Newton-John passed away at the age of 73.
Her husband, John Easterling, confirmed the news of her passing by issuing a statement onFacebook.
“We ask that everyone kindly respect the family’s privacy during this very difficult time.”
It is no secret that Easterling was the great love of Newton-John’s life (viaPeople).
She added, “He’s incredibly smart and compassionate.
He says yes to everything, he says yes to life!”
Her ex-partner, Patrick Kim McDermott, went missing at sea.
At some point during the voyage, something went wrong.
The odd thing was that no one else on the boat reported him missing.
However,Fox Newsreported that it was actually McDermott’s ex-wife who reported him missing.
“He was lost at sea and nobody really knows what happened.
It’s human to wonder, but .
you have to accept and let go,” Newton-John said of the tragedy.
The odd disappearance has sparked some conspiracy theories online (viaNew York Post).
Olivia Newton-John did not release a statement about McDermott’s disappearance until seven weeks later,NBC Newsreported.
Over a year later, the investigation by The Coast Guard closed.
Olivia Newton-John did not question the results of the Coast Guard’s investigation.
Still, she recognized how unnerving it was to not know for sure what happened to McDermott.
“I think there will always be a question mark .
I don’t think I will ever really be at peace with it,” Newton-John said.
When Patrick Kim McDermott set out for a fishing trip and never returned, things were a bit fishy.
There have been speculations about the missing man, with some reports that he was even found alive.
Court documents uncovered by the Associated Press in 2005 showed that McDermott was deeply in debt.
McDermott owed a total of nearly $31,000, bankruptcy documents showed (perWFMY News).
However, no one has ever confirmed that McDermott is indeed still alive.
It is assumed that he did pass away at sea, though a body was never found.
