NAPLES, Fla. (AP) -- A body found off the coast of Italy has been identified as a Florida woman who disappeared from a cruise ship last month, according to the FBI.
Elizabeth Galeana, 22, drowned, said Lourdes Hall, an FBI spokeswoman in Tampa. Foul play was not suspected.
"The body has been released to the family," Hall said Wednesday.
Galeana, who lived in Naples, was reported missing July 25 from Royal Caribbean International's Voyager of the Seas. She was last seen while the ship was en route to Naples, Italy, from the port of Civitavecchia, near Rome. Her sister reported her missing about seven hours later.
Michael Sheehan, a spokesman for the Miami-based cruise line, has said Galena likely fell off the ship. He said the company was working with investigators.
