DINING & DRINKS / Restaurants — Two years, almost to the day, after a Delray Beach woman presumably was lost at sea while honeymooning with her husband in the Bahamas, a judge legally and officially has declared her dead, court records show.

Isabella Hellmann’s husband, Lewis Bennett, is scheduled to be sentenced in his wife’s death later this month.
By officially declaring Hellmann’s death, the judge has cleared the way for the couple’s 2-year-old daughter, Emelia, to inherit $18,000 from her mother’s modest estate.
