They say they have new details but first let's recap everything you Already know. Surprise! There's nothing new.
For so many people wondering about the exact time of death, she was LIKELY pronounced dead by a ship physician. They may have been trying lifesaving measures up until that time. So it's not so weird that the time is exact. What IS weird is L&C continually rehashing the same info with maybe a molecule of new info.
stop reporting on this until you have details
Its okay to shelf it until you actually have new information.
You couldn’t pay me to get on a Carnival Cruise, to many unusual situations.
18-year-old can go on a Carnival cruise, but they *_must be accompanied by a guest who is 25 or older_* and their reservation must be linked with this guardian. While they can book any stateroom location, they cannot travel alone, as the _*minimum age to sail independently is 21*_.
What new information??
My first thought on her exact time of death is that she was wearing a smart watch. It would show if her heart rate flatlined
The video title said "new details emerge", so what's the new details? I skipped through most of the video because he is saying the exact same things from the last video.
