Liberty of the Seas Passengers Died in Cozumel, Mexico

Orlando couple died in a fatal accident involving sand buggy in Cozumel, Mexico. Susan Borges, 31, and her boyfriend Jim Melillo, 43, together with forty friends went on a Royal Caribbean cruise onboard Liberty of the Seas. After the ship docked on Saturday in Cozumel they decided to take a ride on a dune buggy. During the ride the couple crashed in a guard rail. One of their close friends who was riding along side said that when the crash happened  Susan was pinned inside the buggy while Jim was thrown out.

Their friends come to help Susan and Jim with first aid and CPR doing everything to save them.

Royal Caribbean released statement saying: "We extend our most sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends. Our care team is providing support and assistance to guests, family and friends. Our thoughts are with their family and friends, and we will continue to do our very best to assist them."

Jim and Susan's friends are trying to raise money to have the couple cremated and their remains returned to Orlando for a joint ceremony to honor their lives.  If you would like to help with that cause you can click the link below.
