Overview
- The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner identified the passenger as Briana Miller, 24, after a Monday fall from a stateroom balcony aboard the Carnival Firenze.
- The FBI said it responded when the ship docked at Catalina Island and opened an inquiry, which is standard for deaths on U.S.-embarked cruise ships under federal jurisdiction.
- Officials have not released the cause or manner of death, with Carnival saying she went over the balcony and landed on a deck below.
- She was traveling with family who alerted the crew, and Carnival says its Care Team is assisting her relatives and helped them leave the ship.
- Some outlets reported an argument with relatives before the fall, a claim investigators have not confirmed.
