Daughter Demands Answers After Mum Left Behind on Australian Cruise Dies
Suzanne Rees' death at Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef has sparked investigation and safety protocol concerns.
The daughter of an octogenarian passenger found dead on a remote island in Australia after she was left behind by a luxury cruise ship has condemned the operator's "failure of care", as authorities launched an investigation into the incident.
Suzanne Rees was on the second day of a 60-day, A$80,000 (US$52,700) round-Australia cruise when she disembarked from the Coral Adventurer at Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef on Saturday morning.
- Rees, 80, had intended to hike with other passengers to the island's Cook's Look mountain, a challenging 4km (2.5-mile) trail.
- But scorching temperatures forced the Sydney resident to abandon her trek and she headed back down alone.
