Bahamas cruise turns into nightmare after 27-year-old Florida tourist found dead on board

A dream Bahamas cruise turned into a nightmare after a 27-year-old woman was found dead after the ship docked in Grand Bahama.
Cruise staff alerted the Royal Bahamas Police Force (RBPF) at around 5:30 p.m. on Monday after the Florida resident was found unresponsive.
Emergency personnel attempted to revive the woman using CPR but she was ultimately declared dead, the RBPF said in a statement.
They added that during a search of the cabin, officers confiscated “a quantity of suspected cocaine” and arrested another passenger.
The statement read: “During their initial investigation, officers confiscated a quantity of suspected cocaine from the cabin, and arrested a 32-year-old American male from Florida, USA.

“An autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death. Investigations are ongoing into this incident.”
The identities of both American citizens have not yet been disclosed.
The Bahamas have been under the spotlight in recent months amid a surge in violent crime which prompted the State Department to issue two travel advisories for the region.
American visitors have been urged to exercise “extreme caution” when visiting after the island nation recorded 18 murders in just the first month of the year.
The advisory read: “In Nassau, practice increased vigilance in the ‘Over the Hill’ area (south of Shirley Street) where gang-on-gang violence has resulted in a high homicide rate primarily affecting the local population.

“Violent crime, such as burglaries, armed robberies, and sexual assaults, occur in both tourist and non-tourist areas.
“Be vigilant when staying at short-term vacation rental properties where private security companies do not have a presence.”
The advisory was issued only days before two moms from Kentucky on a four-day trip around the Bahamas reported being “drugged and raped” during a stop in Freeport.
Amber Shearer and Dongayla Dobson, both 31, alleged they realized something was wrong after their second drink and they were then moved away from the crowd and assaulted by three men.
The pair accused the police of failing to collect rape test kits and “forced to show where our rapes took place”.
Dobson said: “They told us that if we wanted any justice, any rape kits, we would have to go to the Bahamian hospital however the US Embassy had already refused to help us so we would be on our own and would have to pay our own way back. But we didn’t have passports.”
Pirate’s Cove resort, where the alleged attack took place, claimed the accounts “made onsite and in subsequent social media posts and news stories, conflict with what the time-stamped surveillance videos contain.”
