Some of the dead were wearing shoes, prompting investigators to believe they were awake and trying to escape as flames and smoke consumed the boat. Both exits from the below-deck bunkroom were blocked by flames. Coroner’s reports list smoke inhalation as the cause of death, though official autopsies were never conducted.
