I watched a programme about people "lost" at sea a little while back.
It is distressingly common and many of the cases are never fully resolved i.e. body not found, circumstances where foul play is suspected not resolved and in some cases no reason ever known for "disappearance".

I really feel for the boyfriend - I wonder if he'll ever come to terms with it.

oh, I thought the video was going to be her actually falling off. Did you note the comment from the guy's ex-wife?

People on vacation often take more risks than they would at home. Whether it's renting mopeds to zoom around windy mountain roads in Greece, or bungee jumping in New Zealand, or para gliding off the back of a boat in Florida, there's a sense that you are invincible when on vacation.

If she was climbing from balcony to balcony, I'm not terribly shocked. Sucks for everyone involved.

IMHO, it's the ones who seem to lead the tightest lives that let loose the hardest when away. I know I rarely drink when in my 'normal' life, but spent most of my recent vacation at least 1 sheet to the wind because I didn't have a daughter, work, peers etc. to worry about. . . and along with that went behavior I nornally wouldn't do.

My first thought was that she was probably drunk and that had 99.9% to do with this accident. My thoughts go to her family.

So are you going to post the pics or should we start googling?

that's nice, merc. and you base that on what?

it's amazing how many people are on that blog saying stupid shit just like that. Is it because you watch too much tv, or because you're a horrible sonofabitch, and that's something you might do?

here.
