    An 80 year old probably shouldn’t be hiking on Lizard Island.
 
To: Red Badger
    She probably died before the ship left. She was 80 years old and it was a very hot day. When she sat down to rest she was sitting down to die.

    The ship left the island around sunset but returned several hours later What did she die of?
...the woman, who has not been named...has since been identified as Suzanne Rees.

    The Coral Adventurer cruise ship ended up leaving the woman on the island, but returned several hours later to find her after she was discovered not to be on board. She was on the island alone for a couple hours because she did not return to ship when she was supposed to because she "decided to take rest."
 This is not the cruise line's fault. Its sad that it happened but they did what they were supposed to do. Its not their job to round up every single person before they leave a location.

    Why is it called Lizard Island?

    You are probably correct.
Lizard is visited often by dive boats and tours.
Another group would have been there in 30 min.

    Suzanne’s daughter Katherine Rees revealed the day her mother was hiking was very hot and her mother rested after unfeeling during the hike.  I also like to rest after unfeeling.

    Don’t cruise ships do some kind of head count?

Me too but only when it’s hot. When I’m cold and unfeeling, that’s when I do my best work! 😆

    Yes, that’s when they discovered the passenger missing.
I would think that ship excursions should do that as well...........

    >> Katherine Rees... stated the cruise ship’s “failure of care and common sense” led to her mother’s death.
Appears Mom had a few common sense issues of her own.

    Perhaps they should put wrist trackers on their passengers?

    It’s a sad story, but you get back to a cruise ship late and they’ll leave you behind, without much hesitation. I don’t know about Lizard Island, but most ports will impose a fine well into five figures if a ship leaves port late. Lizard Island is an Aussie Island and this is an Aussie cruise ship, so I don’t know if such a fine would apply.
The only exception is to take a co-sponsored shore excursion from the boat. That way, the boat will know that an entire busload of pax are stuck in traffic, or whatever the reason is. They’ll wait. Otherwise, you can try to retrieve your passport from local port management and you can, if you are able, catch up to the ship via your own means and rejoin your cruise.

    The “negligence and lack of common sense” of her, her companions, and the cruise ship staff was a combination of several negligent factors.
