Mystery as British stewardess, 32, is found dead aboard £6million luxury yacht after a night of drinking celebrating England’s victory over Colombia
A British stewardess was found dead on a £6million luxury yacht after spending the night celebrating England’s World Cup win against Colombia.
Rebecca Boyle was discovered dead in her cabin aboard the La Polonia, which was moored in the Italian Riviera port of Imperia, on Wednesday.
Ms Boyle, from Notting Hill, London, is thought to have suffered a fatal head injury after falling down the stairs after a night of drinking.
The 32-year-old’s colleagues went looking for her when she didn’t show for breakfast on Wednesday morning.
Police said they are treating Ms Boyle’s death as unexplained and have yet to rule out that another party was involved.
Officers are investigating the circumstances that led to her death and interviewing the yacht’s crew.
Ms Boyle had only begun working on the yacht last week after she was hired by a Monaco crewing company as chief stewardess, according to The Sun.
On the night she died, she reportedly celebrated England’s victory in a bar with her colleagues and crew members working on another yacht, the Dynamic.
They later got into the hot tub aboard La Polonia before Ms Boyle reportedly returned to her cabin while ‘worse for wear.’
Police said they cannot determine if alcohol played a part in her death as an autopsy has not yet been carried out.
La Polonia is a 150ft yacht that can accommodate 10 guests as well the crew of seven people – and costs £150,000 a week to charter.
