A 56-year-old woman, who is the fiancée of Faster Pussycat singer Taime Downe, is presumed dead after allegedly going overboard on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, said the victim’s mother.

In an interview with TMZ on Monday, March 3, Carnell Burch said her daughter Kimberly Burch accompanied Downe during the band’s appearance on The ‘80s Cruise, a seven-day trip that began on Sunday, March 2 in Miami.

Carnell told the outlet that Towne called to inform her that Kimberly allegedly fell overboard on the first day of the cruise. Reportedly, no body has been found.

According to TMZ's report, the circumstances around how Kimberly fell from the ship remain unclear.

The mother also said Kimberly was allegedly drinking during the cruise, something that she claimed was uncharacteristic of her daughter. She added that Kimberly didn’t have any emotional issues that she was aware of at the time.

my first thought was that cats can't swim but then I chastised myself and am wondering if there's any video coverage of the area she fell from.

I wondered that as well. I would hope there would be video throughout the ship.

It's said that they were arguing before she "fell". I'm sure the two of them were fucked up on drugs and alcohol so it's up in the air, but I wouldn't be surprised if he helped her over that railing. Looking at his history, he's a douchebag. Wishing his former bandmate dead when he had survived Cancer. Some of that other lineup on the ship was top notch so I honestly don't know what Faster Pussycat was even doing there in the first place. Bottom of the barrel. If you look at the history of the band, they had a couple of hits in the 80s and 90s and then tried to milk that for all it was worth to support drug habits and/or lifestyles.

Douche.

I had never heard of the band before. If he said that about his former bandmate, that is horrible.
