Julia Budzinski, the 17-year-old daughter of Toronto Blue Jays first base coach Mark Budzinski, was remembered in a vigil as more details were revealed about her death.

Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources spokesperson Paige Pearson said Monday the teen was one of two girls who fell off a tube being pulled by a boat on the James River in Richmond.

The boat operator returned to try and get the girls out of the water when the vessel hit a wave, causing it to be pushed on top of Budzinski and striking her with the propeller, Pearson said. The boat driver and the operator of another boat passing by jumped into the water to try and save Budzinski.

She was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

"It was a terrible accident," Pearson said, adding no foul play was suspected nor was alcohol a factor. 

A vigil was held at Glen Allen High School in Virginia. Julia Budzinski was a multisport athlete, a National Honor Society member and involved with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

"It was a very happy, fun last day on Earth for her," her mother, Monica, said at the vigil Sunday. "She was happy, laughing, having a good time and that’s the way I’m going to remember her."

The Blue Jays held a moment of silence for Julia at the Rogers Centre on Sunday.
