Cruise Company Sued for Storing Passenger's Body in Drinks Cooler.

A widow is suing Celebrity Cruises for storing her husband's body in a cooler instead of the ship's morgue, causing it to decompose. The couple had just started an eight-day Caribbean cruise when the husband died of a heart attack. The cruise line presented the widow with two options: disembark with her husband's body in San Juan or have it stored in the ship's morgue until it returned to Florida six days later. The widow opted to remain with the ship, but when a funeral home worker and a sheriff's deputy came aboard to retrieve the body, they found it had been moved to a cooler and had decomposed. The widow and her family are seeking at least $1 million in damages.
