The incident occurred on cruise ship 'Freedom of the Seas' at the beginning of a Caribbean sailing. Her American mother Kimberley Schultz Wiegand was allegedly heard "screaming in pain" as her child fell from the cabin of the 11th floor of the Royal Caribbean ship, Freedom of the Seas. The ship Freedom of the Seas had not yet departed Puerto Rico for its first stop in St Maarten when the incident occurred. "We've made our Care Team available to assist the family with any resources they need," spokesperson for Royal Caribbean Melissa Charbonneau told The Indianapolis Star. This death marks the second fatal fall from a Royal Caribbean ship this year.
