The FBI has reportedly taken over the investigation of a 25-year-
old mother who fell off a Carnival cruise ship in an incident
that one onboard paramedic has said had a “high suspicion of
foul play.”

The unidentified woman is presumed to have died after she fell
off a fifth-floor balcony of her stateroom while the Carnival
Miracle was en route from California to Mexico on Saturday, the
Sun reported.

“Someone has lost their life, whether it was done by accident or
by foul play I don’t know,” said Daniel Miranda, a Northern
California firefighter paramedic on board the ship, according to
CBS Los Angeles.

“There’s some high suspicion of foul play,” he added.

The woman, who fell into waters about 35 miles off the coast of
Ensenada, had reportedly been traveling with her boyfriend and a
relative.

After searching for over 31 hours, the Coast Guard ended its
efforts and the feds took over, according to the news outlet.

“We responded due to the circumstances since we have
jurisdiction on the high seas,” an agency spokesman told the
Sun. “Whether accidental, foul play or otherwise, we look for
evidence to determine what actually occurred.”

The ship, carrying 1,100 people, left the Long Beach Cruise
Terminal on Dec. 9 and was due to return Saturday.

“I can’t believe something happened to her. Sweet young lady,
you know. A sweet soul and she’s gone,” said Patricia Taylor,
who said she met the young mother on the trip.

“And this lady is 25 years old with a baby. A 1-year-old child,”
she added, the Sun reported.

On Saturday, the company said in a statement that “we advised
Carnival Miracle guests this morning of an overboard incident
involving one of our guests from the balcony of her stateroom.

“Our thoughts are with the guest and her family, and our care
team is providing support,” the statement added.
