Fiancée of Faster Pussycat Singer Presumed Dead After Falling Overboard on Cruise
Kimberly Burch, 56, went missing after a fall from a Royal Caribbean ship during an 80s-themed cruise, following a reported argument with her fiancé, Taime Downe.
- Kimberly Burch, fiancée of Faster Pussycat frontman Taime Downe, fell from the balcony of a Royal Caribbean cruise ship on March 2, near Freeport, Bahamas.
- Her family confirmed her presumed death, though her body has not yet been recovered despite search efforts by the U.S. Coast Guard and Royal Bahamas Defense Force.
- Burch's mother stated that her daughter had been drinking, which was uncharacteristic, and dismissed the possibility of intentional self-harm.
- The incident occurred shortly after a reported argument between Burch and Downe, who had been in a relationship for six to seven years.
- The ship was hosting The '80s Cruise, featuring performances by Faster Pussycat and other acts like Squeeze and Adam Ant; the band's remaining shows on the cruise went ahead without Downe.
