A Royal Caribbean crew member, Monika Markiewicz, was found dead in Cozumel this past weekend in Couzmel, Mexico. Authorities report the 32 year old suffered a blow to the head and died of drowning and they believe foul play is to blame.
Markiewicz was a musician on Allure of the Seas and her body was found on the southern part of the Cozumel Island on Saturday.
Royal Caribbean spokeswoman Cynthia Martinez says Royal Caribbean believes Markiewicz "was the victim of a violent crime and did not drown accidentally. Tragically, we recently became aware that the crew member was a victim of a violent crime while ashore in a remote area in Cozume. We extend our most sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of our crew member."
