NASSAU, Bahamas — A 7-year-old American boy was killed in a jet ski accident during an excursion from a cruise ship in the Bahamas, police said today. Eric Thomas, of Cincinnati, was riding with his mother off a Paradise Island beach Sunday when they hit a wave and lost control, said Glenn Miller, chief superintendent for the Royal Bahamas Police.
His fatal head injury may have been caused by a nearby jet ski ridden by other family members, Miller said. "That's the point we're investigating," he said.
The boy was traveling with his mother, stepfather and sister aboard Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas. The cruise line said it was not associated with the vendor that rented the watercraft to the family.
