Just after midnight, the calm over the serene Montauk Yacht Club is shattered by the sounds of a man’s anguished scream. Passersby rush to a boat in the marina, where a man is standing over an unconscious woman begging for help.
Soon, the marina is filled with the sound of sirens, but the woman isn’t rushed to the hospital—first responders declare the woman dead on the scene.
After the East Hampton Town Police and first responders pronounce Martha dead, the county's Homicide Squad arrives on scene around 4am and takes over the investigation. The preliminary investigation and exam were inconclusive regarding the cause of death, and an autopsy was performed by the Suffolk County Medical Examiner.
The autopsy did not show evidence of violence, and her final cause of death is pending further examination.
