    Unfortunately heroin smuggling is a popular way to bolster the wage packet, especially in the Caribbean region where its more easily traded.

    As this report reflects, its a big 'industry' in the area and inevitably there will be casualties.

    It says he showed up to work in the dining room and was intoxicated. Apparently, he was sent to his cabin where he was found later and was not breathing. CPR was unsuccessful and he died. A search of his cabin revealed 2 packages of heroine that were hidden behind the headboard. The FBI is investigating.

    The cruise industry faces the same problems as the real world. As much as they may try to screen their staff, if is drawn from the general population. Unfortunatly, drugs are a fact of life.
