A reported incident involving Royal Caribbean crew members resulted in the death of Michael Virgil, 35.

A passenger on a cruise ship who was caught on camera behaving disruptively passed away shortly after being held.

A 35-year-old man was caught attempting to force his way onto a ship that had just departed from the Los Angeles Cruise Terminal bound for Ensenada, Mexico, according to FOX 11.

""I was scared because I'm stuck in this hallway," Mikhail said."

Virgil was said to be uttering profanity and racial slurs.

According to FOX 11, the video showed him shirtless before being restrained by security with bear or pepper spray, towels, zip ties, and handcuffs.

According to a family member of Virgil, he passed away just an hour after being injected with a sedative by security. They stated that his death was not typical of his personality.
