The Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin tweeted that a 28-year old female mariner committed suicide in her cabin as she was waiting to be repatriated back to the Philippines.
The deceased crew member Ms. Mariah Jocson was employed as an assistant waiter aboard the ship that is currently docked in Bridgetown Port in Barbados.
