Husband Charged in Australian Death of American Newlywed

 

Charges in the Australian death of an American newlywed were filed Friday as police issued a warrant for the arrest of the woman’s husband.

 

Daniel Gabriel (Gabe) Watson has been charged with drowning his wife of 11 days while diving on the Great Barrier Reef. Christina (Tina) Mae Watson died on Oct. 22, 2003 while on her honeymoon in Australia.

 

Gabe Watson, an experienced diver, told authorities his wife Tina, an inexperienced diver, simply panicked minutes into their dive on a historic shipwreck. Although he was trained in dive rescue, Gabe Watson indicated he chose to surface for help rather than attempt to save his wife.

 

Coroners in Australia have determined there was nothing wrong with Tina Watson’s diving equipment, and no other physical condition existed that would have led to her death.

 

Watson faces a maximum penalty of life in prison in Australia if convicted of murder. Prosecutors in Australia said extradition proceedings would begin as soon as possible.
