Body of American who fell off cruise ship found off Honduras
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Authorities in Honduras say the body of a U.S. tourist who fell from a cruise ship has been found in waters near the island of Roatan.
Tourism Institute press director Emilio Silvestri identified the tourist as 65-year-old Carol Ann Dimas and says she fell from the ship after it left Roatan en route to the Cayman Islands. He did not release her hometown.
He said the incident took place 5 miles from the Honduran island, which is popular with foreign tourists.

Officials did not offer details on how Dimas fell off the ship.
