Disney Cruise Passenger, 73, Dies After Plunging From Ship
A 73-year-old man was confirmed dead this weekend after falling overboard on a Disney Cruise Line from Australia to New Zealand.
The victim vanished from the Disney Wonder at around 4.30 a.m. on Saturday, prompting an extensive search and rescue operation.
The rescue teamâs efforts, which included the use of thermal imaging and surveillance cameras, lasted for more than five hours but were unsuccessful in locating the missing man, whose identity has not been released.
