Suzanne Rees, an 80-year-old woman from New South Wales, was found dead on Lizard Island after reportedly being left behind by her luxury cruise ship, the Coral Adventurer.
Rees had joined other passengers on a guided hike during the first stop of a 60-day voyage around Australia, with tickets costing up to $80,000.
During the hike, she became separated from the group after stopping to rest. The ship departed at sunset, unaware she was missing. Hours later, the crew realized she hadn’t returned and turned back. A search team using a helicopter found her body the next morning.
