Grandfather Facing Criminal Charges After Granddaughter's Death on Cruise Ship

Family Sues Royal Caribbean for Negligence

Heartbreaking Video Shows Final Moments with Beloved Grandfather

In a tragic incident that has sent shockwaves through the nation, a grandfather is facing criminal charges in connection with the death of his 18-month-old granddaughter, who fell from a cruise ship window during a family vacation.

Surveillance footage obtained by authorities has captured the heartbreaking final moments before the toddler's tragic fall. The video shows the grandfather holding the child in his arms as they stand near an open window on the ship's deck. In a moment of horror and confusion, the child slips from his grasp and plunges to the sea below.

Royal Caribbean Cruises, the owner of the ship, has filed a motion requesting the federal court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the child's family, who allege that the company was negligent in providing adequate safety measures. The family's attorney argues that the ship's windows should have been equipped with safety locks or bars to prevent such an accident from occurring.

As the criminal investigation and civil lawsuit continue, the grandfather remains in custody, facing charges of involuntary manslaughter. The family and loved ones of the deceased child are mourning their immeasurable loss and seeking justice for her untimely death.
