A 35-year-old man was allegedly served 33 drinks in a short period of time. He became drunk and agitated, and the cruise line's security responded to the man kicking a cabin door. He was subdued, and the family alleges his chest was compressed, and numerous cans of pepper spray were used during the incident. Things escalated to the point that the Staff Captain ordered the drug Haloperidol (Haldol) to be given to the man. This medication is an antipsychotic medication used to treat various psychiatric and non-psychiatric conditions. The man ultimately died, and the death was ruled a homicide.
