The FBI is investigating the death of an 18-year-old passenger last week aboard a Carnival Cruise Line ship, according to national media.
Anna Kepner, of Titusville, Florida, died while traveling from Miami to the Caribbean. The ship she was on, the Carnival Horizon, returned to Port Miami on Nov. 8. It is unclear who she was traveling with or if she was traveling alone at the time of her death.
No cause of death has been released as of Wednesday, Nov. 12. Officials have not publicly commented on the case, citing the ongoing investigation. It is “standard practice” for the FBI to investigate deaths on cruise ships, according to reporting from USA Today, and the presence of these agents “does not automatically imply suspicious circumstances.”
