Cruise Ship Passenger Found Dead on Caribbean Island After Vanishing During Hike
Police said a 33-year-old Chinese cruise passenger was found after a joint search by multiple agencies on a strenuous volcano trail.
- On Monday, June 1, the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force confirmed search teams found the body of 33-year-old Wang Zyuan, a Chinese cruise ship passenger who went missing on St. Kitts.
- Wang vanished on May 27 while hiking the 3,793-foot Mount Liamuiga trail alone without a professional guide; he called 911 at 2 p.m. to report he was lost, but authorities subsequently lost contact.
- Joint teams from the RSCNPF, St. Kitts-Nevis Defence Force, and National Emergency Management Agency scoured the area for days, utilizing cell tower data to narrow the search zone.
- Authorities continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the death; the RSCNPF urged hikers to travel with registered guides, inform others of route plans, and ensure mobile devices remain fully charged.
- The trail, which AllTrails describes as having "slippery sections and steep rock scrambles," has seen previous rescue incidents, including the 2019 search for Canadian hiker Jayme Houle on the mountain.
