She was taken in by residents, but by the time medical assistance arrived, it was too late. She reportedly <strong>suffered a cardiac arrest<\/strong> before she could be transported to a hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Witnesses say she repeatedly asked about the ship, clutching her bag and believing it would return for her. \u201cShe just kept saying, \u2018They\u2019ll come back\u2026 they have to come back,\u2019\u201d one local said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cruise line has not yet released an official statement, but authorities are investigating whether <strong>proper headcounts and safety protocols were followed<\/strong> before the vessel departed.
