Fiancée of Faster Pussycat singer vanishes after falling off cruise

Passengers aboard the Royal Caribbean cruise were jolted by an emergency announcement that someone had fallen overboard. The ship immediately launched a desperate search.

A heated exchange before tragedy

Kimberly Burch, fiancée of Faster Pussycat frontman Taime Downe, went overboard following a reported argument. It’s unclear if she fell or jumped.

Search efforts come up empty

Despite an intense overnight search by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Royal Bahamas Defense Force, Kimberly’s body was never recovered, and the search was ultimately suspended.

A final performance

Just hours before her disappearance, Taime Downe and Faster Pussycat performed on the cruise. Fans captured what would be one of the last moments before tragedy struck.

A heartbreaking loss

Kimberly and Taime had been together for nearly seven years. She was 56 years old, leaving friends and family devastated by the sudden and mysterious loss.
