FBI: Cruise passenger had heart disease

The 64-year-old woman who died last weekend on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship had heart disease, the FBI said Thursday.

Katherine Kennedy was found by her husband in their cabin Sunday, Royal Caribbean said.

The couple was traveling on the Enchantment of the Seas, which was on a seven-day voyage from Baltimore to Florida and the Bahamas.

On Thursday, the FBI said the medical examiner found a cut on Kennedy's head, which likely occurred when she fell.

    I guess this means they have ruled out foul play. Because, as I understand it, cops & med examiners must rule that out 1st! Then you go on to "suicide" or "accidental"! A 3 yr old boy is said to have killed himself & now this! I think both of these deaths need a 2nd look!!

    I have never understood why old people ever go on a cruise. You are basically stranded 1000s of mile away from adequate health care for any medical emergency. Even if they could helicopter you to a Caribbean hospital in a couple hrs. Good luck. Talk about playing roulette with your senior life.

    Our son and brother George Smith was murdered on the Royal Caribbean Brilliance of the Seas nearly 8 years ago but NO ARRESTS and NO ANSWERS. We pray for Ms. Kennedy's family and hope that they have been told the truth. Boycott Royal Caribbean. George, Maureen and Bree Smith
