Death at Queen Mary Long Beach

[John Clifford]

See the article, from the Los Angeles Times:

We'll have to see what happened. I'm not certain, but the fall may have happened from the attached walkway, heading on to the Ship.

Thanks for posting that, John. How tragic.

I'd sure like to know how the hell this happened. Unless somebody was unbelievably careless, one doesn't just fall off of a brow leading to or from a ship.

An update: the victim may have been drinking. So we'll see what affect alchohol played in to this.
The person may have fallen from the connector gangway, coming on to, or off of, the Ship.

The person, it has been reported, was sitting on a railing (NOT SMART) and lost her balance.

"Stay Tuned" for more details.

Looks like "careless" carries the day!!!

The autopsy that the Long Beach Coroner's Office will be doing will tell for sure but the smart money is on the alcohol.
