Teen Dies After Falling From Balcony On Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship In Haiti

El Nuevo Herald
Harmony Of The Seas is one of the world's largest cruise ships.

A teenager from the South Pacific fell to his death while trying to access his stateroom from the balcony of an adjacent room on the eighth floor of Royal Caribbean’s Harmony of the Seas, according to the Broward Medical Examiner’s Office.

On Jan. 11, Laurent Mercer, 16, from the French island collectivity Wallis and Futuna, apparently did not have his room card when he tried to access his balcony from an adjacent one, according to a statement from the medical examiner’s office on Tuesday.

The ship, in the midst of a seven-day Caribbean trip, was docked at the time at Labadee, Haiti, where Royal Caribbean owns a private resort.
