The missing Brisbane woman, named Natasha Scofield (Natasha Schofield), 47, has been identified as missing from the Pacific (Pacific Dawn) cruise ship that crashed into the sea, the Australian News Network reported, citing the Australian news agency. But police said the woman fell into the sea was not an accident.
The Pacific Dawn docked at the port of Brisbane today and police have boarded the ship to investigate the sinking. Scofield crashed from the upper deck of the cruise ship on Thursday afternoon, about 150 nautical miles west of (New Caledonia), New Caledonia, it is reported.
Search and rescue operations were suspended Friday morning and startled passengers arrived in Brisbane early this morning. As of this afternoon, searchers had not found Scofield. Queensland Police Inspector Graham (Rob Graham) said: "this is not an accident. The family trip, which was supposed to bring good memories to this loving family, ended in tragedy. I hope we can face up to mental health problems. "
Prior to the incident, Scofield was travelling by boat with her husband and three children, and she was there when she fell into the sea. Graham said Scofield did make a deliberate dive into the sea. The security video on the cruise ship recorded a complete picture of the incident.
Graham said he saw on video that a loving couple were standing on the top deck, leaning against the deck railing, and then the woman stepped back two steps over the railing, and her husband tried in vain to reach for her. But she finally fell into the sea.
It is reported that after the woman crashed into the sea, her "heartbroken" husband immediately cried for help, the cruise ship immediately turned around to launch a search operation. But because the accident site is too remote, there are no boats nearby.
