An unfornate death in Barbados...

[Aplmac]

Not sure if this may have been mentioned already?

but in case it has not, here is a link to my local island-newspaper

reporting an unfortunate drowning while Grandeur of the Seas was in port.

 

A 65-yr-old American man:

His body was found floating in the water

and was brought ashore by three unknown individuals...

which might indicate a heart-attack, rather than 'getting into difficulties'?

I know a few people currently onboard Grandeur.  They do not know what exactly happened yet.  This was posted yesterday on the Grandeur FB page.

Sad. Unfortunately we never realize how often this type thing happens, natural or accident. Over the yrs have had 7-8 pass away from my Cruises.  Cant Imagine loosing Family member in Foreign Port far from home...

Yes we have lost four cruisers through the years, one was a drowning on our shore excursion two were health problems and one was uncertain.
