‘As we are working with the relevant authorities and to protect the family’s privacy, it would be inappropriate to comment further.’
The death follows another tragedy earlier this year that also occurred on Mystery Island.
In May, a passenger on Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Splendor ship died while swimming.
The company said in a statement at the time that “Carnival Cruise Line is deeply saddened by the death of a guest on Mystery Island following what appears to be a medical situation while swimming.”
A passenger on the ship told 7NEWS that the passenger died while snorkeling.
