Widow sues cruise line over death of father of four
The wife of a father-of-four who died after diving headfirst off a structure at Roatan island during an onshore break from a cruise is suing the Royal Caribbean cruise line now. Edmund Rucker, 52, died on March 15, 2023, when the 'Allure of the Seas' was docked at Roatan. The 52-year old man had jumped into the water from a high dock and struck his head, leaving him unconscious ultimately leading to his death. The structure may have been previously used to support a zip line which was abandoned years ago. It is unknown why the dangerous structure was still available for use by tourists. Several people indicated that other accidents, including multiple deaths in the same area, had happened and that there should be warnings to prevent similar accidents in the future. Rucker’s wife, Laura Rucker, is now suing Royal Caribbean, alleging the cruise line acted recklessly by encouraging passengers to take part in excursions in Roatan at a time when there were work stoppages and strikes in the health and public safety sectors in Honduras. Royal Caribbean allegedly knew that there were strikes in Honduras in the healthcare sector and chose to dock at Roatan anyway because of the revenue generated at this port of call. This resulted in a delay in emergency medical care available to Mr. Rucker.
