Does anyone know if the investigators checked to see if the captain may have had reasons to sink the ship? Beyond that, given the captain's body was never recovered, were investigators able to confirm that communications were coming from the positions reported by the captain?
RELATED: Here is the US Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation final report on El Faro[1] -- in which the investigators had stated that if Davidson had survived the storm, his actions would have been grounds for the Coast Guard to revoke his captain's license.
What I am not seeing in the report is any reference to if the investigators checked to see if there were any reasons in his personal life that may have caused the captain to intention sink the ship; for example, recent suicide attempt, recent diagnosis of terminal illness, financial issue, employer or family issues, etc.
