A teenager has died after falling multiple floors on a cruise ship.
The incident took place Wednesday, according to Fox News. At around 7:30 p.m. local time, Crew Center reported that a 15-year-old — whose name has not been released — died after plunging on a MSC Cruise ship, which was returning to Miami after a five-night trip in the Caribbean and Bahamas.
Citing a source, Crew Center said the young adult fell off a balcony from Deck 16 and landed onto the promenade on Deck 8.
In a statement to CBS 4, a spokesperson for MSC Cruises says the incident is being investigated as a suspected suicide. "All of us at MSC Cruises are heartbroken. The family remains in our thoughts and prayers," the spokesperson said. "Out of respect for the family's privacy, we will not be discussing any additional details."
In a statement given to Crew Center, a passenger onboard the ship detailed that the vessel's captain made a "man overboard on the port side" announcement over the ship's PA system the night of the incident.
"We just had 3 emergency blasts following captain's announcement 'Man Overboard,'" the unnamed passenger told the outlet at the time. "People started running to the sides to investigate what happen, although it's nighttime."
The passenger also explained that crew members told all guests to return to their rooms and to stay away from public areas around the ship.

Was this the Norwalk line? Cruising is a nightmare of mine.
I understand that the word “teenager” was created around the 1920s or 1930s.
I guess before then, they were considered adults?
“Jewish culture does it right acknowledging and celebrating adulthood at the age of 13 (they are now able to be parents) with bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs.”
12 for a girl. In the U.S, Properly and legally NOT an adult.
“Fifteen is old enough to do a man’s work, shoulder a man’s responsibilities and be responsible for himself and those placed in his care.”
To be drafted into the army?
Buy a gun?
Purchase liquor?
Pilot a plane?
Enter into financial contracts?
Teenagers need to be told everyday they are at the most dangerous time of their life think first.
Legally NOT an adult, but in actuality, an adult.
The modern-day “teenage” non-adult status is a bit twisted IMO. It invites irresponsibility, pre-marital sex, and delays maturity.
In the soon-coming millennium with Jesus as King of the World, my guess is that 12-13 year olds will be celebrated as adults and society will be much better off for it.
“Legally NOT an adult, but in actuality, an adult.”
I bet you never had a 12 year old daughter!
A TEENAGER!
WOW!! Can the 13 year olds in Israel MARRY, SIGN CONTRACTS, ETC???
7....no 13.
They can make babies. If they’re treated as responsible adults as they are in Jewish culture, why not?
Teenager = young adult.
Jewish culture does it right acknowledging and celebrating adulthood at the age of 13 (they are now able to be parents) with bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs.
Please answer my question....thanks?
One would think so since they are officially celebrated and pronounced adults at 12-13.
WOW!! You mean they can MAKE BABIES???
Perverted by the Women’s Movement and their death grip on infanticide abortions.
So a person can drink “adult beverages” at 15 years old?????
***********
I did but some places wouldn’t sell to you.
Please answer my question, then I’ll answer yours...thanks?
Yes, physically, no legally.
Audie Murphy went into the Army at 16 and won the Medal of Honor.
I owned a gun at 10 and was drinking wine at age six.
I never was a pilot but joined the Army at age 17, was that a financial contract?
Sure...A person can drink “adult beverages” even at 6 years old, but that doesn’t mean it’s LEGAL..........
