Marilyn Jones is suing Celebrity Cruises, alleging that the crew of the Equinox failed to preserve her husband’s body in the ship’s morgue

Celebrity Cruises did not respond Thursday to a request for comment from The Washington Post.

Two days into the cruise, the charms of the Equinox no longer mattered when Robert Jones died of a heart attack, his widow’s lawsuit says. The ship’s crew members told Marilyn Jones that if she decided to take her husband’s body off the ship into San Juan, she would have to accompany him while the ship left her behind, the lawsuit states. Then, they allegedly warned her, she would be responsible for booking transport back to the U.S. mainland for herself and her husband’s body.

Tom Carey, a lawyer representing Marilyn Jones and her family, said the crew of the Equinox shouldn’t have offered up the morgue if they knew it wasn’t working, and they should have known if it wasn’t.
