BASEBALL : MAJOR LEAGUE STAR JOSE FERNANDEZ KILLED IN BOAT ACCIDENT !
The world of baseball is in shock following news of the sudden and tragic death of one of its brightest stars, Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez.

Fernandez, just 24, was found dead along with his two friends, after a Coast Guard patrol discovered their damaged boat turned upside down at the end of a rocky jetty off Miami Beach in Florida early Sunday dawn.

Authorities recovered two bodies under the boat, and another body thrown on the rocks.

Investigators believe the high-speed sport fishing boat that Fernandez and his friends were on, hit the rocks at full speed, the high impact causing serious injuries and their deaths.

Fernandez was born in Cuba, and had made 3 failed attempts to flee to the United States, after finally making it in 2008 at the tender age of 15.

He then went on to become one of the brightest stars in baseball.

He was drafted by the Marlins, first round, in 2011. And he made his Major League Baseball debut (MLB) in 2013.

Following his death, the Marlins has announced they will retire Fernandez's uniform number (16), to honor him.

In an emotional news conference, Marlins President David Samson said Fernandez's 'magnanimity of his personality transcended culture, religion and race.'

'I mean, it just did,' he added.
