“Shark Tank” personality Kevin O’Leary is back at work and has been tweeting about a new version of the entrepreneur reality show, following that fatal boat crash he was involved in last month.
O’Leary tweeted for the first time since the Aug. 24 double boat crash in Ontario that killed two people.
O’Leary is busy promoting the Colombia version of “Shark Tank,” merrily greeting social media followers in that country.
“Hola Colombia! I’m Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank US. I’ve been told Colombians are pretty hard negotiators, I guess we’ll find out soon. Hope you are ready for the new Sharks: Alejandra, Andrea, & Samy! Don’t miss @sharktankcol new season starting Sept 6th on @sonychannella.”

O’Leary followed up with a similar message on Instagram.
O’Leary’s wife, Linda, was navigating the boat on Lake Joseph in Canada when it struck a 13-person watercraft. Gary Poltash, 64, and Suzana Brito, 48, were killed and three others were injured.
Kevin O’Leary put out a statement soon after the collision:
“Late Saturday night I was a passenger in a boat that had a tragic collision with another craft that had no navigation lights on and then fled the scene of the accident.”
“Out of respect for the families who have lost loved ones and to fully support the ongoing investigation, I feel it is inappropriate to make further comments at this time. My thoughts are with all the families affected.”
