UPDATE: Cruise passenger suicide occurred in VI waters- RVIPF
“Police are investigating the suspected suicide of a male cruise passenger now that BVI Shipping Registry, Police and the cruise ship personnel have determined that the death, in fact, occurred in BVI waters early yesterday morning,” a press release from the RVIPF today, April 20, 2017 stated.
Police further said cruise agents had originally stated that the incident had occurred outside VI waters and therefore reports would be made to the last port of call which was St Thomas, US Virgin Islands.
“Inquiries indicate that Norwegian Escape passenger, Daniel Godsey, 33, of Tennessee, USA, had left his room around 3:00 AM. Shortly after, closed circuit cameras showed him in midair descending toward the water. His body was recovered some time later by members of ship’s crew. The ship later arrived at the Cruise Pier in Road Town,” the press release stated.
Mr Godsey was reportedly travelling with his wife at the time of the incident.
Police said members of the BVI Tourist Board and the Crisis Intervention Team are providing the needed support to the wife of the deceased and the Coroner’s Office has been notified.
“Investigations are ongoing.”

Cruise passenger allegedly leaps to death
Reports reaching our newsroom is that a cruise passenger leapt to his death while the vessel was on its way to the Virgin Islands (UK) from St Martin early this morning, April 19, 2017.
Information is sketchy as to whether the passenger jumped into the water or to a lower deck.
Initial information reaching our newsroom was that the cruise passenger plunged into the water; however, this could not be verified. Virgin Islands Search and Rescue (VISAR) was contacted but could not immediately give any confirmation.
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) did confirm; however, that it is investigating the death of a passenger on the vessel Norwegian Escape.
“Police did receive a report of the death of a male passenger on board a cruise ship while it was in transit to the VI. The circumstances surround his death are under investigation,” Police Information Officer Diane Drayton told Virgin Islands News Online.
The Norwegian Escape arrived in the Virgin Islands just before 9:00 AM.

Sacrifices are called and only the weak minded fall.
Many amongst you are like zombies just waiting on their name to be called upon in circles and squares. Many who meet monthly in dark places to execute rituals have created this shadow and empowered it with their Sodom and Gomorrah acts to make the almighty angry.
Pictures of animals will be on display for your eyesight hoping that you may sacrifice one of those animals to remove the dark shadow that follow you.
Place a cup of diesel in the four corners of your home to keep the dark cloud from invading your home and love ones.
Something to think about.
Everyone one of you that are making jokes or being a$s#***es are what is wrong with this world, is people like yourselves!!! My question for everyone of you is how would you feel if it were your family member or friend that had done something like this, how would you feel if you read the comments put on here by people thinking something like this is a joke and to some it may be, but to the one that knew daniel knew he had problems just like myself and everyone else in this world but to make jokes about someone taking their own life is uncalled for so if you would like to make jokes take it else where but some need to grieve over the loss of a friend, a child, a brother, a father, a uncle, a nephew and many more things, and no one will ever know what he was going through or what possessed him to do what he did and we never will but you have no right saying some of the things that have been said so far!!! STOP and think of the things that come to mind before saying or typing them because remember you have family too that may be going through something that is covered up so no one knows!!!
Thank you
