More than a week has passed since the tragic death of an 18-year-old cheerleader from Florida aboard a Carnival cruise ship, yet authorities remain without answers regarding the cause and manner of her death. The incident, which occurred in the Gulf of Mexico, has left many questions unanswered.

Anna Kepner, a high school varsity cheerleader with aspirations of joining the Navy and eventually pursuing a career as a K-9 police officer, was found dead on November 7. Her untimely death has shocked her community and left her family seeking closure.

The cruise ship returned to its Miami port the following day, whereupon Kepner’s body was transported to the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner’s Office for a thorough autopsy.

Identified by her family as the passenger who passed away on the Carnival Horizon, Anna Kepner’s story has captured public attention. Her family and friends have been left in mourning, as they await answers regarding the circumstances of her death.

However, as of Tuesday, officials have informed Fox News Digital that the medical examiner has not yet concluded the autopsy or determined the cause and manner of her death. The full autopsy report is still pending, leaving many eager for further information.

In a statement, Carnival said it was cooperating with the FBI, which is handling the case.

“Carnival Cruise Line is fully cooperating with the Miami office of the FBI in the investigation of the death of a guest traveling on Carnival Horizon last week,” a spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

“The ship returned to PortMiami (the Port of Miami) as planned on Saturday morning, Nov. 8 and the FBI has advised that there is no related threat to safety aboard as it sails its current voyage.”

The company deferred all other questions to the FBI, which has said little publicly about the case.

The Daily Mail reported Tuesday morning, citing two unnamed sources, that housekeeping staff aboard the Carnival Horizon discovered Kepner dead and stuffed under her bed, wrapped in a blanket and concealed beneath a pile of life jackets. She reportedly complained of feeling sick the night before and left dinner early.

The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Days before Kepner’s death, she hinted at TikTok that she was going through a rough breakup. In an Oct. 26 video, she shared a series of selfies and wrote that she would continue to “have a smile” on her face despite the ordeal.

“Even after every breakup, being disrespected, being lied to, being cheated on, being used, getting manipulated, getting played, I will always have a smile on my face and a kind heart,” reads the on-screen text in her video.

Her final post, on Oct. 30, was much shorter.

“You deserve to be happy, but if it ain’t with me then nvm,” it reads, using shorthand for “never mind.”

Around 11:15 a.m. on Nov. 7, she was found dead aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship.
