Two cruise passengers die in separate drownings on same day at Bahamas resort
Two Americans died while staying on Celebration Key, a private island operated by Carnival Cruise Line
Two people have died from apparent drownings in unrelated incidents at a private Bahamas resort for passengers of a cruise company.
The US citizens had been travelling with their families on separate cruises on Carnival Cruise Line’s ships Mardi Gras and Elation respectively.
The tragedies occurred after they were dropped off at Celebration Key, a private island where Carnival opened a resort less than a month ago.
The man, who was 79, was reportedly snorkelling by a beach on the island on Friday when he appeared to get into difficulty.
A lifeguard brought him to shore and administered CPR after he became unresponsive, but the man was pronounced dead shortly after.
On the same day, the woman, said to be 74, was found unresponsive in a swimming pool.
Postmortem examinations will be carried out to determine the exact cause of death in each case.
Both passengers had travelled from ports in Florida, where Carnival is based.
The Royal Bahamas Police Force is carrying out investigations into both deaths.
‘Our thoughts and prayers are with the guests and their families and our Care Team is providing assistance’, the company said in a statement to local media.
‘We are saddened by the loss of our guests. We have trained lifeguards and medical professionals who respond promptly.’
