A crew member died after tumbling overboard from a Regal Princess cruise ship off the coast of Cancún, according to the cruise line.
The worker who fell off the Regal Princess was discovered dead on Monday following an all-out search launched by authorities, Princess Cruises said in a statement to The Post.
It’s unclear how the unidentified crew member ended up in the water off the gigantic 19-deck cruise ship that departed from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, last Saturday.
The individual’s name, age, and job title were not released.
“Our heartfelt condolences go out to the crew’s family and friends during this difficult time,” a spokesperson for the cruise line said in a statement. “Grief support services are being offered to guests and crew members affected by this event.”
“Princess Cruises thanks the local maritime authorities and our colleagues from Carnival Jubilee who assisted in search and rescue efforts.”
The Regal Princess set sail after the grim discovery and will make its next stop in Belize on Tuesday, according to cruise officials.
The seven-day voyage is slated to end upon the ship’s return to Fort Lauderdale on Saturday.
