The man in the viral video claiming to be the captain of the boat that drowned Junior Pope and four other people is a content creator, not the captain of the boat, according to movie producer Stanley.
The man claimed in the widely shared video that the deceased actor refused to rent a life jacket, claiming he doesn’t have money. Additionally, he claimed that the late actor and a few other passengers on the boat insisted they were God’s children and would not bow to the river’s forces. He claimed that his ability to swim allowed him to escape unharmed and that it also allowed him to save a woman who was on the boat.
