The FBI has reportedly taken over the investigation of a 25-year-
old mother who fell off a Carnival cruise ship in an incident
that one onboard paramedic has said had a �high suspicion of
foul play.�
The unidentified woman is presumed to have died after she fell
off a fifth-floor balcony of her stateroom while the Carnival
Miracle was en route from California to Mexico on Saturday, the
Sun reported.
�Someone has lost their life, whether it was done by accident or
by foul play I don�t know,� said Daniel Miranda, a Northern
California firefighter paramedic on board the ship, according to
CBS Los Angeles.
�There�s some high suspicion of foul play,� he added.
The woman, who fell into waters about 35 miles off the coast of
Ensenada, had reportedly been traveling with her boyfriend and a
relative.
After searching for over 31 hours, the Coast Guard ended its
efforts and the feds took over, according to the news outlet.
�We responded due to the circumstances since we have
jurisdiction on the high seas,� an agency spokesman told the
Sun. �Whether accidental, foul play or otherwise, we look for
evidence to determine what actually occurred.�
The ship, carrying 1,100 people, left the Long Beach Cruise
Terminal on Dec. 9 and was due to return Saturday.
�I can�t believe something happened to her. Sweet young lady,
you know. A sweet soul and she�s gone,� said Patricia Taylor,
who said she met the young mother on the trip.
�And this lady is 25 years old with a baby. A 1-year-old child,�
she added, the Sun reported.
On Saturday, the company said in a statement that �we advised
Carnival Miracle guests this morning of an overboard incident
involving one of our guests from the balcony of her stateroom.
�Our thoughts are with the guest and her family, and our care
team is providing support,� the statement added.
