The skipper of a rented motorboat involved in a crash off the Amalfi coast that killed a US publishing executive is being investigated for suspected manslaughter, a prosecutor in southern Italy said.

Salerno chief prosecutor Giuseppe Borrelli told a news conference in the port city that the skipper, an Italian who has not been publicly identified, is also being investigated on suspicion of causing a shipwreck.
