Lawsuit alleges cruise line left passenger's body to decompose in cooler.

TL;DR Summary
A lawsuit has been filed in the US District Court of Southern Florida alleging that the body of a man who died of a heart attack on a cruise ship was left to decompose in a walk-in beverage cooler for nearly a week instead of being stored in the morgue. The family is seeking $1m in damages and claims to have suffered extreme emotional trauma. The crew allegedly told the man's wife that his body could be taken off in Puerto Rico or kept in the morgue until they returned to Fort Lauderdale, but the body was not stored in the morgue. Celebrity Cruises declined to comment on the case.
