Kimberly Burch, the fiancée of Faster Pussycat frontman Taime Downe, has died after going overboard on the ‘80s-themed Royal Caribbean. A tragic cruise ship incident occurred on March 2 during the first night of a seven-day cruise, aboard the Explorer of the Seas.
According to reports, Burch fell from her room’s balcony following an alleged “heated” argument with Downe, who was scheduled to perform during the event. A U.S. Coast Guard spokesperson confirmed that the incident happened approximately 20 miles from Freeport, Bahamas.
Tragic Cruise Ship: Search Efforts Underway
The Coast Guard dispatched a helicopter crew and other personnel to assist the Royal Bahamas Defense Force in their search for Burch. Despite immediate efforts, the search was later suspended, and her body has not been recovered.
A Royal Caribbean spokesperson stated:
“Our crew immediately launched a search and rescue effort, is working with local authorities, and we are providing support and assistance to the guest’s family during this difficult time. To respect the privacy of our guest’s family, we have no additional details to share.”
