Vigil put on for two brothers who drowned off Martha’s Vineyard

EDGARTOWN, Mass. (WLNE) — A vigil took place Tuesday night for two men who tragically drowned last week off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard.

Tavaughn Bulgin and his brother Tavaris Bulgin drowned after not resurfacing while jumping from the Jaws Bridge Aug. 14.

Tavaris’ body was discovered last Monday, while it took crews until Thursday to recover Tavaughn’s body.

Both men in their 20s were from Jamaica and were seasonal employees at a restaurant on Martha’s Vineyard.

Family of the two brothers flew in from Jamaica to host the vigil.
