Icon of the Seas Crew Member Allegedly Stabbed Co-Worker Before Jumping Overboard
- A 35-year-old South African crew member stabbed a 28-year-old female coworker and then jumped overboard from the Icon of the Seas sailing off San Salvador Island on June 29.
- The attack arose from a personal dispute onboard the largest cruise ship, leading the man to flee by jumping into the sea about 200 miles east of Nassau.
- The ship immediately slowed and turned course northeast, the crew initiated a rescue operation, and the woman was treated onboard, now in stable condition.
- Rescue crews recovered the man unresponsive about 30 minutes after he entered the water, and CPR was performed before he was declared dead; investigations and an autopsy are ongoing.
- Royal Caribbean extended condolences to the family while withholding identities, and authorities continue to investigate amid growing cruise safety concerns.
