All of the victims were taken to local hospitals and are being treated for their injuries. The victims are in different conditions ranging from serious to stable, the news outlet said. Francel Parker is demanding to know how his underage son was given alcohol on the four-day cruise. Parker, of North Port, Florida, jumped off the 11th deck of the Liberty of the Seas around 4 a.m. On April 4, plummeting 200 feet into the Atlantic in front of his helpless brother and father while heading to Cuba and the Bahamas’ Grand Inagua Island, Florida officials said.

“We extend our most sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the 38-year-old male guest from the United States who died while onboard Harmony of the Seas. A member of our Care Team is providing support and assistance to his family,” he added. The study found that the largest proportion of deaths in the time period, 29 percent, occurred on Carnival cruise liners. Agents with the Evidence Response Team boarded the vessel when it made port in the United States on March 4 to process the woman's room, according to the local FBI Columbia field office. Officials have not disclosed the identity of the passenger or an official cause of death. Carnival Cruise Lines said Tuesday that the woman who died aboard one of its ships last month likely died from natural causes.

On standard Caribbean sailings, remains are often kept in the cruise ship morgue until the vessel returns to the United States, where a death certificate can be issued by the local medical examiner's office. However, as stated above, port authorities in any of the ports visited by the cruise have the right to require an examination of anyone who's died, as well as the off-loading of the body. "Nine Carnival Miracle guests were hit by a shuttle bus in the transportation area outside the Honolulu cruise terminal on Friday morning," Matt Lupoli, senior manager of the Carnival Cruise Line, told USA TODAY.

A spokesperson for the owner, Carnival, told Newsweek that the deceased woman and her husband were disembarked in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, where authorities were investigating the incident and conducting an autopsy. "While we continue to cooperate with authorities, all indications pertaining to the death of a guest on board Carnival Sunshine suggest that it was a natural death due to a medical condition," the cruise line said in a statement Tuesday. U.S. consulates, for instance, will help the family of the deceased in making arrangements with local authorities for preparation and disposition of the remains. They'll even serve as provisional conservator of the person's estate if no one else is able to do it. According to the Cruise Lines International Association, the latter two can have requirements that necessitate the off-loading of anyone who's died, or preclude the line from being able to offload a body. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention requires that any ship that calls or homeports at a U.S port must immediately report any deaths onboard.

Wheeler said the investigation remains ongoing and that "no other details can be provided at this time." "We are fully cooperating [with the authorities]," the Carnival spokesperson said. "This is a matter for authorities in the Bahamas and Charleston and we have no further comments." FBI officials said the incident was isolated and there was "no threat to any other passengers before or after the passenger was found deceased."

Taylor’s cause of death is still unknown and an autopsy has yet to be performed, the Institute of Forensic Sciences of Puerto Rico confirms to PEOPLE Wednesday. As the Carnival Sunshine carries a Bahamanian flag, the FBI is required to cooperate with the local authorities on the case. The cruise liner departed Charleston in the late afternoon on Saturday, before returning to the Bahamas on Tuesday, according to ship tracker CruiseMapper.

Medical staff and crew members of Carnival's Sunshine vessel attempted to revive the woman after she was found unresponsive, the FBI Columbia field office said in a statement. The shuttle bus crashed into pedestrians and two concrete barriers at the terminal. The shuttle bus driver mistakenly stepped on the gas pedal instead of the break when they attempted to stop the bus from moving, Hawaii News Now reported. "The FBI joined Carnival Sunshine upon its return to Charleston on Saturday to conduct an investigation into the death of a guest," the spokesperson said.

Johnny Faevelen, the captain of the Harmony of the Seas, shared several photos of him and Newton-John with her husband John Easterling. “She has performed a great concert onboard the Harmony last night,” he tweeted on Wednesday morning. The Carnival Sunshine was launched in 1996 and was once the world's largest passenger vessel. The MSC Meraviglia later docked at Port Canaveral, according to CBS Orlando.

Police said officers at the scene "confiscated a quantity of suspected cocaine from the cabin" and arrested a 32-year-old man from Florida. For the latest news, weather, sports, and streaming video, head to WFLA. Officials said an autopsy will be conducted to determine the woman’s cause of death. At the time of Taylor’s death, the cruise liner was hosting Atlantis Events’ all-gay Caribbean Cruise which sailed from Ft.

The FBI is investigating the "suspicious death" of a woman who was on a five -day cruise from South Carolina to the Bahamas, the agency announced. Generally speaking, the first large port city the ship calls at is where the body will be offloaded, taken to a medical examiner's office and repatriated. But each country has its own rules and regulations about accepting bodies, declaring cause of death and repatriating remains. When someone dies on a South Pacific sailing, his body will most likely remain in the ship's morgue until the ship returns to a more major port, as few, if any, of the islands on such an itinerary are equipped to handle repatriation.

A photographer for ABC affiliate WFTV was on the ship, which was returning from the Bahamas, and said emergency notifications were made over the ship's loudspeaker. The ship was held in the water and passenger and crew gathered on the deck, the station reports. The cause of the incident is under investigation, the spokesperson said. The cruise ship was scheduled to return to Port Canaveral that morning. Her husband got off the cruise in Nassau on March 1, and her remains were also removed, he said. Jessica Lani Rich, a visitor at the Aloha Society of Hawaii told KITV Island News that the woman who died was celebrating her 46th wedding anniversary with her husband.
