A 19-year-old man faces multiple charges in the death of Massachusetts high school lacrosse star Sadie Mauro, who was killed when the boat she was on crashed into a pier over the summer, prosecutors said Tuesday.
David K. Sullivan, of Medfield, Mass., was accused of driving the vessel while intoxicated before it crashed and ejected the rising high school senior in Cape Cod harbor, according to Cape & Islands District Attorney Robert Galibois.
The Dover-Sherborn High School student went missing in Seasuit Harbor around 9pm on July 21. His body was later found on a nearby beach 90 minutes after the violent collision.
Two other victims were also seriously injured in the crash, the district attorney’s office said.
The charges against Sullivan include death of a person caused by operating a vessel/boat under the influence of intoxicating liquor, two counts of operating a vessel while under the influence of intoxication causing serious bodily injury, and reckless or negligent operation of a vessel causing death.

He also faces charges of minor in possession of alcohol and possession of a false RMW document.
Sullivan was charged in the high-profile case on Friday after an investigation opened in August.
“The District Attorney’s Office would like to express its condolences to the family and loved ones of the late 17-year-old,” said the office in a statement.

Mauro was remembered as a fierce competitor and caring friend who was eager to go to Gettysburg College to play for a Division III women’s lacrosse program.
“He would do anything for you. He will run through walls for you if you ask him to. He’s very coachable, loves lacrosse, loves his team,” high school athletic director Emily Sullivan told CBS Boston.
“Sadie’s smile could light up a room, she had a heart of gold and the sweetest spirit,” Dover-Sherborn High School Principal John Smith said in an earlier letter to the community following Mauro’s death.
