A 12-year-old boy died after falling from a 13th floor balcony on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship as it headed toward Galveston, Texas, at the end of a seven-day cruise on Saturday.
The vessel, the Harmony of the Seas, is registered in The Bahamas.
The boy reportedly fell five stories from a cabin balcony into the Central Park area of the ship. Efforts were made to resuscitate him by Royal Caribbean staff, but he died before the ship docked.
A Royal Caribbean statement said: “We are deeply saddened to confirm the death of one of our guests. Our care team is providing support and assistance to the guest’s family during this difficult time. For the privacy of the guest and their family, we have no additional details to share.”
The cruise ship had been on a route in the western Caribbean.
