CRUISE DEATH: Passenger Went Overboard

Authorities in Puerto Rico are investigating the death of a Royal Caribbean “Oasis of the Seas” passenger who went overboard while the large cruise ship was docked in San Juan.

Divers recovered the body of a 46-year-old man after security camera footage showed him going overboard. Authorities believe the man appeared to intentionally climb over the railing before plunging into the water. (ABC News)

Hot Takes:

  • He may have intentionally climbed over the railing, but it’s unknown if he was trying to kill himself.
  • Sometimes people on cruise ships get drunk and do stupid things, like climbing over the railing.
  • Local authorities and the U.S. Coast Guard are involved in the investigation.
