An Israeli couple on their honeymoon was involved in a zip lining accident that has left a man dead, according to the Miami Herald.
At the time, newlyweds Egael Tishman, 24, and Shif Fanken, 27, were on a seven-day Royal Caribbean cruise trip that departed from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, according to the paper. Their trip began on July 1, and by July 5, they were in Honduras.
That afternoon, the couple participated in a zip lining excursion near West Bay.
Fanken went down the cable first, but unbeknownst to Tishman, she got stuck halfway down, Roatan Fire Department chief Wilmer Guerrero told local paper La Prensa. When the 24-year-old went down the cable, the couple collided, sustaining serious injuries, according to the paper.
Tishman and Fanken were transported to a nearby hospital where Tishman died overnight, Guerrero said. He also told the outlet that Fanken was later airlifted to a hospital in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
According to La Prensa, a member of the Israeli embassy is arranging to have Tishman's body flown to Israel for his burial.
A Royal Caribbean spokesperson confirmed the incident to the Miami Herald.
"Our Care Team is providing support and assistance to the guests' family and friends," they said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the couple, and we will continue to do our very best to assist them."
