A man boards a Royal Caribbean cruise for his son's 7th birthday. By that evening, he's dead. The medical examiner ruled it homicide. Michael Virgil was served 33 alcoholic drinks by Royal Caribbean crew members on December 13th, 2024. When he became disoriented and couldn't find his cabin, security tackled him. Compressed his body under their full weight for three minutes, pepper-sprayed him three times, and injected him with a sedative that should never be mixed with alcohol. He was 35 years old. He was a father. He never came home.
