Man Dies on Cruise, Fiancée Sues Royal Caribbean
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
The fiancée of a man who died on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship has filed a wrongful death lawsuit, alleging the company negligently served him excessive alcohol and mishandled his subsequent distress. The lawsuit claims crew members tackled and restrained the man, leading to his death. The man, Michael Virgil, reportedly consumed over two dozen drinks before becoming lost and agitated. Crew members then intervened, allegedly tackling him and subjecting him to a prolonged prone restraint. The lawsuit further claims crew members administered a sedative and pepper spray, ultimately leading to the mans death. The lawsuit argues Royal Caribbean crew members should have stopped serving Virgil alcohol and that their medical personnel and crew lacked proper training to handle such situations. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Miami, seeking unspecified damages and a jury trial.
