Max Circus Posted May 17, 2005 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2005 There is one over on the Carnival board. Some speculation there that is was suicide, yet the USA Today story says it wasn't. Not sure how one would know for sure one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixCruiser Posted May 17, 2005 #3 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Very sad! I have a hard time believing that two people can just go overboard, unless of course the second one jumped in to save the one who fell? ### Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truffles2 Posted May 17, 2005 #6 Share Posted May 17, 2005 This apparently came from a fellow passenger: From a passenger: Two passnegers jumped from the Carnival Destiny on Thursday May 12th between 8:30 PM and 4 AM while the ship was going from Barbados to Aruba. The ship turned around to search for the missing passengers. Their belongings were found in a pile on one of the decks. The belongings included thier passports. There was apparently a suicide note from the approximately 70 year old couple. US and Venezulan coastguards took over the search on Friday May 13th at 1 PM. The ship was discharged and had to change ports. The passengers were brought to St. Maarten on Saturday the 14th. The couple were US citizens who were of Vietnamese decent. Their 3 children were also on board. The children were in their 30s. The FBI met the ship in San Juan Perto Rico as the investigation continued.

Jacquelyn11 Posted May 17, 2005 #7 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I'm not familiar with Vietnamese culture, but it could be a "dying with dignity" issue. Some older parents tend to hide problems from their grown children because they don't want to burden them. It is not uncommon with close elderly couples when one passes away, the other goes with in a year. Still, very sad! :( Jacquelyn :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
