Her body has not been recovered, and the circumstances surrounding her fall remain unclear.

She had been accompanying Downe and Faster Pussycat on the seven-day cruise, where the band was a featured act alongside Squeeze, Adam Ant, Tiffany, and Men at Work.

Hours before her fall, Burch shared a photo with Downe, 60, on board, captioning it: “We made it to @the80scruise.”

Burch’s mother told TMZ she does not believe her daughter would have intentionally hurt herself and claimed the couple had allegedly been arguing.

She also noted that Burch had been drinking on the trip, which she said was out of character.

“She was excited about the trip,” she added.

A Royal Caribbean Group spokesperson told Metro: “Our crew immediately launched a search and rescue effort, is working with local authorities, and we are providing support and assistance to the guest’s family during this difficult time.

“To respect the privacy of our guest’s family, we have no additional details to share.”
