Search called off for woman who "jumped" from cruise ship

A SEARCH has been called off for a missing 56-year-old American woman who reportedly jumped from a cruise ship in waters off Grand Bahama yesterday.

The incident occurred on Monday morning about 17 miles offshore.

Royal Bahamas Defense Force officials in Grand Bahama initially received a report around 11.30am. The ship’s agent at the Nassau Cruise Port also alerted officials in New Providence around 12:28pm.

According to preliminary reports, the woman allegedly got into a heated argument with her fiancé on the night of March 2, just after 10pm, before going overboard.

The US Coast Guard, the Royal Bahamas Defence Force, and an AIRMIA MH-65 aircraft searched the area. However, efforts to locate the missing woman have been unsuccessful.
