Dolphin was first released in September 2003 by programmers Henrik RydgÃ¥rd (ector) and F|RES as an experimental Nintendo GameCube emulator that could boot up and run commercial games. Audio was not yet emulated, and there were performance issues.
Pilot Luis Morales III and all eight passengers, including Aaliyah, were killed in the aviation incident. According to findings from an inquest conducted by the coroner's office in the Bahamas, Aaliyah suffered from severe burns and a blow to the head, in addition to severe shock.
Even those that were not familiar with Aaliyah or her music may have recognized the general headline stating that a singer died in a plane crash; it is a tragedy that has unfortunately taken the lives of many other singers both before and after 22-year-old Aaliyah Haughton.
