Default Woman dies from fall on cruise ship in Gulf

Woman dies from fall on cruise ship in Gulf

48-year-old woman died from a fall on a cruise ship operated by Carnival
Corp., the company said.

The woman, whose name was not released by the cruise line, was seen jumping
from one of the ship's upper outside

decks and landing on a cabin balcony today, the Miami-based company said in
a news release.

The ship, called the Carnival Conquest, was concluding a seven-day Caribbean
cruise that made stops in Montego

Bay, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. It returned to Galveston on Sunday. The
company said the woman was travelling

with her spouse. Carnival did not provide any other details.

Cruise passenger John Bayer, of Purmela, said he could see the woman lying
three levels below where he was on the

ninth level. He said he did not see the woman's fall, which he said occurred
about 3 p.m. as the ship was entering the

Gulf of Mexico. Carnival said it has notified authorities. The U.S. Coast
Guard did not immediately return phone calls

seeking details of its investigation.

How sad..She must have been terribly unhappy to have ended her life in such
a tragic way.

If she was seen jumping from one of the upper decks, I guess her death
was the desired outcome. Although instead of going splat on someone's
balcony, she probably was heading for the deep blue sea.

It has to be the booze. No other reasonable explanation for people jumping
overboard. Ban the booze and people won't be dying during a cruise.
Its that simple.

You are discounting the "Nut factor." It is not the booze, but a
predetermined reason for the person the kill themself. Being that suicide
is not rational, one has to be a bit Nuts to kill themself.
