80-Year-Old Woman Left Behind on Cruise, Dies

On November fifth, Australian investigators boarded a cruise ship to probe the tragic death of an eighty-year-old passenger, Suzanne Rees, who was left behind on a remote island during a shore excursion. The Coral Adventurer, which was delayed due to mechanical issues, was investigated by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, Queensland Police, and the state coroner. Rees, an active bushwalker, fell ill during a hill climb and was asked to return unescorted. The ship departed without her, and the cruise was later canceled. Her body was found the day after she went missing. Her daughter hopes the coroner's inquiry will reveal what the company could have done to prevent her mother's death.
