Los Angeles, CA (My Sportsbook) - Former NBA player Bison Dele was reportedly killed by his brother, Miles Dabord, as the two got into an argument aboard the Hakuna Matata, Dele's boat.

Erica Wiese, Dabord's former girlfriend, described to the Los Angeles Times what happened aboard the boat as Dele, his girlfriend Serena Karlan, Dabord, and the boat's captain, Bertrand Saldo sailed near Tahiti in early July.

Wiese told the newspaper Dabord's account of the events on the catamaran. Wiese said that Dabord and Dele were fighting and Karlan was fatally injured when she tried to break up the altercation. Saldo was then killed by Dele because the captain wanted to report Karlan's death to authorities. Dele and Dabord continued to fight, and Dabord shot and killed Dele in self- defense. Wiese said Dabord told her he weighted the three bodies and dumped them overboard.

All three bodies have not been recovered. Dabord died on September 27 from what was termed as a result of an insulin overdose combined with not taking his asthma medication, according to the Times as told to the paper by Dabord's mother, Patricia Phillips.

The disappearance of Dele turned into a murder investigation after Weise informed the FBI of the struggle aboard the boat. Dabord, who was also known as Kevin Eugene Williams, was reportedly seen docking the empty boat on July 15. He left Tahiti two days later and was wanted on two arrest warrants in connection with disguising himself as Dele, also known as Brian Williams.

Police in Phoenix detained Dabord on September 5 after he said he was Brian Williams and signed receipts with that name while trying to buy $152,000 in gold. He showed his younger brother's passport as identification before he was taken into custody by police. However, he was released without being arrested.

Wiese told the newspaper she spent time with Dabord after his run-in with the police and just before he went to Mexico, where he overdosed. Wiese said Dabord told her on the evening of September 7 about the deaths and what really happened aboard the Hakuna Matata, which in Swahili means no worries. She told the Times, the next day she drove back to Palo Alto and received a phone call from Dabord. Wiese said she slept on her couch with "a knife and telephone within arm's reach" that night because she feared for her safety.

Wiese told the LA Times that Dabord "was going to do what he could to escape. ...Once he gave up on that, he overdosed."

Dele, who spent the last three years of his life travelling around the world, played on the Chicago Bulls' championship team in 1996-97.
