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.

“Teen”...In Chicongo, teen is code for Black...also in St Louis..also in Memphis....also in __________.
“...The results speak for themselves...”
Please explain what “results” you speak of...
In my “apparent ignorance” I don’t know to what you are referring...
I did at 13. The rare half-glass of white wine for special occasions.
We were stationed in Italy at the time and there was no drinking age.
Exactly my point. Just because something is a "law" doesn't mean it is right, just, or good. We see that everyday in our country where most federal law is invalid and unconstitutional and, thus, illegal. Illegal law. Happens all the time. Some laws are good, others not good. You have to use reason to sort it out. And the penalty for breaking a law is totally off point here.
My argument is about what makes sense not what "law' may arbitrarily say.
Good argument that “an adolescent” is a young adult.
You sound like a liberal democrat...If the law doesn’t agree with what you think, the hell with the law...
That says a lot about you....
Start with irresponsible teenage pregnancies and behavior - modern-day answer - kill the baby. Sad.
Once again, you wallow in ignorance.
Rots a ruck there my FRiend.
I haven’t had much of a problem for the last 72 years...I figure I’ll be fine for what I’ve got left...Thank you...
“My point is Jewish culture sees 13 as the beginning of adulthood and there’s a lot to be said for that.”
Then your point is that Israel does not respect Jewish culture?
You’re welcome.
15 is not a young adult
Exactly my first thought!
Regards,
Look I gotta go - actually have other things to do.
My point Mr. TexasGator is that there a some pretty good reasons to consider or reconsider a 13 years old being a young adult. I’ve named a few in this thread. Nothing coming from on high written in stone. Just a appeal to consider some reasonable and supportable viewpoints on the subject.
Have a good day.
“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.”
I think the bible refers to 20 as the age for being taxed and drafted f9r war.
Not THINK they can sign contracts, but KNOW they can.....now CAN THEY??
Correct.
Traditionally, 13 is the age a boy could be punished by a court, but 20 is the age he could be punished by heaven. Many Jewish commentators explain various approaches to the details of why that is.
Twenty is also the age at which Jewish men were counted in a census, and for military and Temple service.
It OK Ann. Take a breather. Reasonable considerations for reasonable minds.
LOL. NO answer.
It sure isn’t, and the person who wrote this is an idiot.
