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*_.
First no new news. Second, your FBI agent needs to brush up. The ship is not flagged in the US. Lastly, can I get back my 20 minutes?
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.
What a beautiful young lady, about to start her adult life!! 😢 R.I.P. sweetheart. You had a life I have always dreamed of. I’m so sorry that this is the end to your story. I pray they figure out what happened and why you are no longer here with your family and friends. 🩷🙏🏽🩷 Love and support to family and friends. I’m so truly sorry for your loss!! 😭
