The lawsuit claims Robert Jones' body was found in 'advanced stages of decomposition' in a drinks cooler, despite his wife allegedly being promised that his remains would be kept in a chilled morgue.
A Florida widow and her family are suing a cruise line for allegedly mishandling her husband's dead body and storing it in a drinks cooler after he died on board a ship.
Robert Jones' body was stored inside a walk-in cooler normally used for drinks for nearly a week instead of a properly chilled morgue as his wife was promised, according to the federal lawsuit filed in Florida.The lawsuit claims his body was found in"advanced stages of decomposition" in a cooler in a bag on a palette.
It says it left the body bloated and green, and the family was unable to have an open-coffin funeral"which was a long-standing family custom". Celebrity Cruises declined to comment, citing the case's sensitivity and"out of respect for the family". The Celebrity Equinox, which cruises the Caribbean year-round out of Fort Lauderdale in Florida, is flagged out of Malta and can carry almost 3,000 passengers.
