He claimed the rocker witnessed the “woman that he’s in love with, that he’s lived with for the past eight years,” end her life in front of him.
Kimberly’s family said they had no idea about her passing until Taime called them after she went overboard.
“We would have never even known it happened if Taime hadn’t called,” her brother, Kip Burch, told theNew York Postlast week.
Kip said at the time that the family felt “lost” and had “no answers.”
A passenger claimed on social media that the band performed “less than 90 minutes before she went overboard”
Kimberly had shared a selfie of herself with her fiancé aboard the ship before her passing.
“We made it to @the80scruise,” she wrote on what turned out to be the last picture uploaded on her Instagram grid.
Casey Markee, who said he was a passenger on the same ship, posted about the incident on X.
“It looks like the woman ‘jumped’ from the balcony of her 8th-floor room after an argument with her partner,” the passenger claimed.
In another update, Casey said he and his fellow travelers watched Faster Pussycat perform “LIVE less than 90 minutes before she went overboard!!!!!”
