GALVESTON – During a seven-day Caribbean cruise aboard the Carnival Magic, 39-year-old, Chris Carter, accidentally fell from his cabin balcony and landed on an open deck area three decks below.
Tragically, the guest died on Tuesday morning. According to witnesses who were on the balcony with him at the time, the guest was sitting on the balcony railing and accidentally fell.
