48. Bison Dele (2002) - Formerly Brian Williams, an NBA player who vanished at sea near Tahiti under mysterious circumstances.
Bison Dele, formerly known as Brian Williams, was a former NBA player who mysteriously vanished at sea in 2002. After a successful basketball career, Dele retired unexpectedly in the late 1990s while still in the prime of his career. In July 2002, Dele, his girlfriend Serena Karlan, and skipper Bertrand Saldo went missing while sailing Dele's catamaran, the Hakuna Matata, in the South Pacific.
The only survivor of the voyage was Dele's brother, Miles Dabord (born Kevin Williams). Dabord was found alone with the boat in Tahiti. He later provided conflicting accounts of what happened, but it was suggested that he had a confrontation with Dele that led to the deaths of Dele, Karlan, and Saldo. Before he could be thoroughly questioned by authorities, Dabord overdosed on insulin and slipped into a coma, dying a few days later.
The bodies of Dele, Karlan, and Saldo were never found, and the exact circumstances of their disappearance remain a mystery. The case attracted widespread media attention due to its bizarre and tragic nature, as well as Dele's celebrity status. Dele had been known for his eccentric personality and his decision to walk away from a lucrative basketball career to travel and pursue personal interests, which made the story of his disappearance even more compelling and enigmatic.
