The spouse of Robert Lewis Jones, a 78-year-old traveler who died subsequent to experiencing a cardiovascular failure on board a VIP Equinox transport, has recorded a $1 million claim against Superstar Travels. As per the suit, Jones’ body was inappropriately put away in a cooler rather than the funeral home on the boat and thus, the body had begun to deteriorate severely.

The occurrence occurred in August 2022 when the boat was cruising through the Caribbean. At that point, the voyage staff purportedly guaranteed Jones’ family that his body would be remained careful in the boat’s mortuary, as per the claim.

Who was Robert Lewis Jones? Robert Lewis Jones was the spouse of Marilyn Jones for a considerable length of time. Marilyn, her two girls, and three grandkids are looking for a preliminary by jury.

After Robert has died abruptly, the deprived widow was given the choice by team individuals to either have her significant other’s body removed the boat when the vessel was moored at their next stop in Puerto Rico or be set in the boat’s funeral home until the boat got back to Ft. Lauderdale six days after the fact.

She chose to go with the last option and to have her significant other’s body put away in the boat’s funeral home. To oblige for the inconvenient demise of travelers, most voyage ships have a practical funeral home ready. Vessels are likewise expected to convey body sacks.

A burial service home worker and a representative from the Broward Province Sheriff’s Office were welcomed on board after the boat showed up back in Ft. Lauderdale. At the point when they showed up on the journey they found that the body was not where the staff had at first guaranteed it would be. To everybody’s shock, they observed that Robert’s body was kept inside a stroll in cooler, which was utilized to keep drinks cold.

“At the point when the burial service administrations representative in Ft. Lauderdale was carried onto the boat to recover Mr. Jones’ body, his body was not situated in the boat’s funeral home,” said the claim, recorded last week in Florida government court. “All things considered, Mr. Jones’ body had, eventually not yet known, had been moved from the boat’s mortuary to a cooler on an unexpected floor in comparison to the boat’s funeral home. The cooler wherein Mr. Jones’ body was found by the burial service worker had drinks put beyond the cooler, and was not at a temperature which was adequate nor legitimate for putting away a dead body to forestall decay.”

Robert’s body was found on a range on the floor of the cooler inside a blood-splattered sack. The body was in “cutting edge phases of deterioration and was never put away in a temperature suitable to prevent decay from happening.” It had become swollen and green. Accordingly, the departed’s family could never have an open-casket memorial service.

As indicated by the family, on the off chance that the voyage’s funeral home was out of reach, they ought to have been educated. Marilyn would have then gotten an opportunity to get his body off the journey in Puerto Rico.

“The crazy and reckless activities and oversights of Big name straightforwardly and generally caused Offended parties’ wounds, since, supposing that Offended parties realize that there was not a functioning mortuary on the boat, they would have had Mr. Jones’ body removed the boat,” the claim claims. “In the event that the respondent’s group had either kept the mortuary in legitimate working request or reviewed Mr. Jones’ body in the funeral home with sensible recurrence, his body could not have possibly disintegrated to the point that a burial service chief couldn’t rescue his remaining parts to such an extent that he could get the open coffin memorial service and wake administrations.”
