Details emerge on Jose Fernandez's last night

Jose Fernandez was upset following an argument with his girlfriend and summoned two friends for the late-night boating expedition that ended in the death of the 24-year-old Miami Marlins pitcher and his companions, according to reports that detailed the final evening of his life.

Eddy Rivero and Emilio Macias were killed along with Fernandez when a 32-foot fishing boat – which authorities said Monday was owned by Fernandez – crashed into a jetty sometime before 3 a.m. Sunday morning as it traveled southbound back toward Miami Beach.

Fernandez's friends joined him only after Marlins teammates turned down his offer to go on the late-night trip on the water.

"That night I told him, ‘Don’t go out,’” outfielder Marcell Ozuna told the Miami Herald. “Everybody knew he was crazy about that boat and loved being out on the water. I told him I couldn’t go out that night because I had the kids and my wife waiting for me.

“He told me if I didn’t hear from him by 10 a.m. (Sunday) to call him and wake him up so he could get back to the ballpark on time for the game. I told him, ‘yeah no problem, I’ll call you.’ I woke up Sunday and that’s when I found out. I cried and cried."

Will Bernal, a close friend of Rivero’s, exchanged text messages with Rivero after midnight urging him not to go on the boat and posted the exchange on his Instagram account Monday.

That's a shame. They just found his bag about 20 blocks away from the accident sight. There's a bunch of autographed baseballs in it as well

Didn't know that a 24 yr old is still considered a "kid"

In baseball you're a kid until you turn 30. At 30 you become a seasoned pro.

God Bless and RIP, Jose, Eddy, and Emilio!

24 is way too young!

Three deaths in one boating accident? Was there a fire or an explosion involved?

The boat hit the jetty rocks in the early morning darkness. Dude must've died on impact because he didn't drown

Similar to '93 with the Cleveland Indians. Tim Crews ran his boat into a dock iwith Steve Olin and Bob Ojeda aboard. Crews and Olin were killed, Ojeda was severely injured but recovered.

Nobody wears a seatbelt on a boat. Nobody survives flying into jagged rocks at 40-50mph.

Nobody should be going that fast at night on the water. And probably loaded, which rarely helps.

Still sad.

 I believe they said two bodies were found floating on the water which means they most likely died to impact and I believe the other body was found in the boat. Most likely the guy died in the boat by blunt force trauma due to the effect the rocks have on the boat. Basically the boat became a squashed can beverage.
