In July 2005, 26-year-old George Smith IV and his new wife, Jennifer, boarded the Royal Caribbean International cruise ship Brilliance of the Seas to celebrate their honeymoon. They planned to cruise around the Mediterranean sea for the next two weeks. But only a few days into their honeymoon, tragedy struck. After a long night of drinking, gambling, and cruise ship fun, George mysteriously fell overboard. The accident prompted a quick investigation by local Turkish police and cruise ship officials. Was George Smith IV’s death a tragic accident? Or was he intentionally thrown overboard?
