Are they legally married -- helicopter crash/newlyweds?

[Anonymous]

This was no accident or pilot error though it may be one or the other to officially cover up. Big Daddy, the groom's father, was involved with some blood diamond people. Just saying.

You deal with the devil and the devil expects payment.

I was wondering how the family afforded two private helicopters and obviously a very lavish wedding on private land that includes a private family burial ground. I just assumed because the groom (and oldest son) was an agricultural major that they were a ranching family.

Curious that this isn't the case.

Groom who died was William T. Byler III. The II, or Jr, owns WT Byler Co, Inc. A high-tech earth moving and heavy construction operation (railroad construction that sort of thing) but it looks like it mostly operates in the U.S.?

Just realized that the blood diamond people could have financed their construction projects without the Byler actively being involved in other businesses. Shadiness.

I am puzzled by the lack of empathy on this thread. DCUM is usually full of sympathy after tragedy.

Just a curiosity.

Just when I think no one can ask a dumber, more idiotic question, someone does!

Huh, where did this come from? Link? And if the pilot was involved in this suppossed payback/ revenge scheme you're hypothesizing then he killed himself?

Ooh, we’ve moved on to the conspiracy theory part of our programming. Yay.

Inheritance law depends on the state but consummation of the marriage isn’t required to be “married” but it can be terms for an annulment vs a divorce.

In Virginia, when a husband and wife die together in an accident, the husband is deemed to die first, then the wife second. So if this had happened in Virginia, and they had both died intestate (without a will), the husband dies and leaves his estate to his wife who then dies and leaves the estate to her heirs. Technically under that scenario the husband’s family receives nothing, and if the wife had no children her parents get everything.

They were both still in college, I doubt either of them has any sort of estate worth settling.

Maybe, but maybe not. Discussion was whether they were married because they died leaving their reception and if married who gets what.
