The police probe had initially focused on determining whether the Dorset Belle, a sightseeing boat, had caused the dangerous sea conditions leading to the incident. However, authorities concluded that the vessel was not to blame. A man who was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter has been cleared of any wrongdoing and will face no further action.
