Authorities in Honduras say the body of a U.S. tourist who fell from a cruise ship has been found in waters near the island of Roatan.
Tourism Institute press director Emilio Silvestri identified the tourist as 65-year-old Carol Ann Dimas and says she fell from the ship after it left Roatan en route to the Cayman Islands. He did not release her hometown.
He said the incident took place 8 kilometers (5 miles) from the Honduran island, which is popular with foreign tourists.
Silvestri said the navy and Red Cross searched for five hours without finding Dimas, but then employees of Miami-based Carnival Corp., which owns the cruise ship, found the floating body Thursday.
Officials did not offer details on how Dimas fell off the ship.(++++)
