What began as a relaxing family vacation aboard a cruise ship quickly turned heartbreaking when Florida high school student Anna Kepner passed away during the trip. The Carnival Horizon returned to PortMiami as news of her sudden passing spread among passengers and the community back home. Born on June 13, 2007, Anna was traveling with her family when the unexpected event occurred. Her father, Christopher Kepner, shared that they were all together on the ship at the time.
In an interview, Christopher described the difficulty of navigating the days since the incident. Authorities questioned the family as part of the standard process, asking them to leave the ship for further investigation. Anna was officially pronounced at 11:17 a.m., though additional details have not yet been released. The FBI is overseeing the case because the ship was traveling between Cozumel and Miami. The family is now focused on finding clarity while holding on to their memories of Anna.
