in 2000 at the age of 41 when hit by a powerboat while diving with her sons, then aged 13 and 15, off the coast of Mexico.The vessel, moving fast and illegally in a designated diving area, was controlled by Guillermo Gonzalez Nova, multimillionaire president of asupermarket chain, but an employee of his took the blame and got fined a mere 2240 US dollars in lieu of a 34 month jail sentence.
“She was a bright light and she was just snuffed out by a man who should never have been there. He tried to shift the responsibility on to someone else.“It’s like the way our government works in that they say one thing….things happen that are absolutely horrendous and they work their way around it. And that’s what they did.Asked if there ever will be justice for Kirsty, Peggy said “No. The only person who could have brought them to justice was her mother, and she did try.
“Largely because she’d been married to Ewan for a while, she was politically aware that when these people shut themselves away behind their power you can’t get at them, especially in a foreign country.”BBC star kicked off flight over peanut row says she's been left 'humiliated' Veteran singer and musician Peggy, who will perform at the Cambridge Folk Festival on July 28, adds of Kirsty: “Ahhhhh. She was my stepdaughter. Sadly we didn’t work together. She was brilliant. She was very versatile. She had wonderful ideas.
“I think she would have flown. But she was terrified of getting up on stage. She conquered it for a while.”
