Bizarre cruise incident: Passenger dies after onboard chaos
During a Royal Caribbean cruise traveling from Los Angeles to Mexico, a very unusual situation occurred. A video appeared online showing one of the passengers causing a severe disturbance. The man was subdued and detained, and shortly afterward, he died.
The victim was 35-year-old Michael Virgil. According to TMZ, dramatic events took place on the ship traveling to Ensenada. A recording posted online shows Virgil shouting and repeatedly kicking the door of one of the cabins, trying to break in.
Reports indicate that during the altercation, Virgil attacked several crew members and threatened other passengers with death. The ship's security used pepper spray, zip ties, and handcuffs to subdue him. The family claims he was also given a sedative.
Virgil died about an hour after this incident, while under the supervision of the ship's security. The cause of his death has not yet been disclosed. It is worth noting that the entire incident took place less than an hour after the ship left Los Angeles, and the motives for Virgil's behavior remain unclear.
Virgil's family, in an interview with Fox 11, emphasized that such behavior was uncharacteristic of him and that he did not deserve to die as a result of this situation. Michael was traveling with his fiancée and 7-year-old son.
Royal Caribbean issued a statement expressing sadness over Virgil's death and assured their support for his family and cooperation with authorities.
