Two cruise passengers die in separate drownings on same day at Bahamas resort
Two people have died from apparent drownings in unrelated incidents at a private Bahamas resort for passengers of a cruise company. The US citizens had been travelling with their families on separate cruises on Carnival Cruise Line's ships Mardi Gras and Elation respectively. The tragedies occurred after they were dropped off at Celebration Key, a private island where Carnival opened a resort less than a month ago. The man, who was 79, was reportedly snorkelling by a beach on the island on Friday when he appeared to get into difficulty. A lifeguard brought him to shore and administered CPR after he became unresponsive, but the man was pronounced dead shortly after. On the same day, the woman, said to be 74, was found unresponsive in a swimming pool. Postmortem examinations will be carried out to determine the exact cause of death in each case. More Trending Both passengers had travelled from ports in Florida, where Carnival is based. The Royal Bahamas Police Force is carrying out investigations into both deaths. 'Our thoughts and prayers are with the guests and their families and our Care Team is providing assistance', the company said in a statement to local media. 'We are saddened by the loss of our guests. We have trained lifeguards and medical professionals who respond promptly.' Got a story?

Police Investigating Drownings of 2 Americans at Bahamas Resort
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Two American tourists died in separate drowning incidents at Celebration Key, Carnival Cruise Line's private resort on Grand Bahama Island Friday, prompting authorities to open investigations into their deaths. "Our lifeguards and medical team responded to two separate emergency incidents at Celebration Key on Friday—one in the lagoon and one at the beach," a Carnival Cruise spokesperson told Newsweek in an email Sunday. "Sadly, both guests have passed thoughts and prayers are with the guests and their families and our Care Team is providing assistance." Why It Matters The coincidence of two fatal water emergencies on the same day heightened scrutiny of protocols at private resort destinations linked to major cruise operators. The deaths occurred within a three-hour span at the newly opened, $600 million Celebration Key complex, which Carnival launched last month. What To Know Officers with the Royal Bahamas Police Force (RBPF) responded to two separate drowning incidents within hours of each other on Friday, the agency said in a press release. In the first, officers found an "unresponsive" 79-year-old man who had been snorkeling off a resort beach shortly before noon. He was pulled from the water by lifeguards who performed CPR, but he was later pronounced dead by medical personnel. Just hours later, around 2:30 p.m. local time, a 74-year-old woman was found unresponsive in a resort swimming pool, according to the release. CPR was also attempted and she was also pronounced dead. The identities of the victims were not released, although police said that autopsies would be completed to determine the causes of death. Carnival Cruise Line confirmed both victims had been passengers on separate Carnival ships—the 79-year-old man was aboard the Mardi Gras and the 74-year-old woman was aboard the Carnival Elation. Meanwhile on Saturday, a 63-year-old American man was attacked by a shark around 1 p.m. local time while spearfishing off Big Grand Cay in the Bahamas, according to the RBPF. He was treated at a local clinic for "severe injuries" and was airlifted to the U.S. for more treatment, ABC News reported. Carnival Cruise ships Liberty and Elation are seen in Nassau, Bahamas, on April 29, 2019. Carnival Cruise ships Liberty and Elation are seen in Nassau, Bahamas, on April 29, 2019.

Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the drownings are ongoing. Any official findings, including autopsy results and final police reports, will be central to determining whether negligence, preexisting medical conditions, environmental factors or other causes contributed to the deaths.

Elation Survey Finds Nearly 40% of Primary Care Physicians Use AI-powered Tools for Daily Clinical Documentation
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Elation Health, the clinical-first technology company powering innovation in primary care, today announced the results of its latest AI in Primary Care survey of 291 primary care physicians, focused on the current sentiments, adoption patterns, critical concerns (defects), key behavioral insights (learnings), and explicit user desires (requests) regarding the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in primary care workflows. The analysis reveals 39.3% use AI-powered tools daily, specifically for clinical documentation. The survey also revealed that clinicians have a clear hierarchy of needs when it comes to AI, with fundamental performance factors at the top of that hierarchy. With 59% of respondents in agreement, accuracy and reliability ranked as the most important factor when evaluating AI tools. Seamless workflow integration and ease of use followed at 22%, while efficiency and time savings (ROI) came in at 13%, and cost affordability at 6% (see Table 1). Table 1: Most Important Factors in Choosing an AI Tool 'Our survey confirms what we already suspected: clinicians are cautiously optimistic about AI's potential, but they're looking for thoughtful, trustworthy, affordable solutions that truly fit the realities of primary care,' said Sara Pastoor, MD, MHA, FAAFP, and director of primary care advancement for Elation Health. 'At Elation, we're applying AI in ways that are context-aware, and fit naturally into clinical and operational workflows to enable high-quality care hand in hand with long-term financial success.' While the survey also affirmed the general attitude towards AI in clinical settings is predominantly positive, a notable segment remains neutral or skeptical. Although a combined 59% of respondents rate their sentiment as "Positive" or "Very Positive," 24% of respondents were 'Neutral' in their sentiments about AI. This sizable group appears to be open to AI advancements but may be likely waiting for clear evidence of its value, reliability, and ease of use before fully embracing it. These findings reinforce how Elation approaches research and development with Elation's Innovation Labs that leverage a dynamic, interactive product development and testing framework to allow it to work shoulder-to-shoulder with clinicians and staff through design cycles, usability testing, and continuous in-product feedback. This ensures Elation is developing AI in ways that clinicians trust and find valuable. Elation Health's clinical-first approach to AI is distinguished by continuous, hands-on collaboration with primary care clinicians throughout the Elation Labs development process. Every new AI capability is shaped directly by clinician feedback, gathered through design cycles, usability testing, and ongoing in-product input. Elation's iterative, transparent partnership with customers ensures that its AI features are clinically relevant, trustworthy, and seamlessly integrated into daily workflows, empowering clinicians while keeping the focus firmly on patient care. The survey was conducted with 291 independent primary care clinicians who are current Elation Health customers.

Utah's Ruth and Nathan Hale Theater Enthralling Audiences with Modern Elation Lighting
LOS ANGELES, June 20, 2025 /CNW/ -- The Ruth and Nathan Hale Theater, also known as The Ruth at dōTERRA, opened its doors earlier this year, and is already making a name for itself as a premier performing arts venue. A culmination of years of planning, the stunning new venue in Pleasant Grove, Utah, is equipped with modern Elation lighting technology. Smith Grand / Lindsay Legacy The theater operated for 35 years as the Hale Center Theater Orem, a small semi-professional theater-in-the-round, but moved to a new, modern space in late 2024. The new venue houses two theaters. At the heart of The Ruth is the exquisite Scott and Karen Smith Grand Theater, a 670-seat space with a proscenium thrust that has the added flexibility to be adapted to a full theater-in-round. The intimate 300-seat Lindsay Legacy Theater is designed to mimic the original intimate venue that its patrons have loved for three decades. Modern Elation lighting graces both theaters, including 40 ARTISTE MONET luminaires and 88 KL PROFILE FC fixtures, supplied by Barbizon Light of the Rockies, and 103 FUZE PENDANT COMPACT fixtures, sold by Brio Technologies. Michael Gray, head of lighting at The Ruth, specified fixture types and quantities. New Lighting System Troy Anderson, Director of Operations at The Ruth, led the technical aspects of the project, including the execution of the lighting installation. The Ruth's lighting system was designed to meet the high demands of a bustling theater that hosts performances six days a week. "We knew we needed a lighting system that could handle the complexity of our productions and provide a wide range of flexibility," Anderson says. "The ARTISTE MONET's versatility allows us to use it as a followspot, a static washlight, a moving head, or an effects light, all in the same production." The ARTISTE MONET is a multi-award-winning 45,000-lumen LED Profile luminaire. Elation's KL PROFILE FC, a full-spectrum ellipsoidal with integrated zoom, also played a critical role in the decision-making process. "The adjustable lensing and the range of features that come with the KL PROFILE were key in its choice," says Anderson. Both fixtures were earmarked for use in the Smith Grand Theater. The FUZE PENDANT COMPACT was selected as the house light for both the Grand Theater and the Lindsay Legacy Theater. The FUZE PENDANT's ability to provide full-color lighting allows the theater to immerse audiences in the world of the production from the moment they enter. "We use a lot of color in our house lighting," Anderson notes. "As patrons enter the theater, we want them to feel like they're already part of the set and the show. The tones and colors we get from the FUZE PENDANT make that possible, and they match with our other lighting fixtures. Color was a critical factor in choosing these lights." Multiple Angles In the Smith Grand Theater, catwalks and the lighting rig encircle the stage in multiple tiers, with an inner ring and outer ring of lights. Michael Gray's goal in creating his initial lighting rep plot, Anderson says, was to hit every point on stage from at least four angles. "The way we light our shows is different from a traditional proscenium setup. In theater-in-the-round, you need to light the stage from multiple angles to ensure every point is covered." A Busy Schedule The Ruth installed the Elation lights themselves, completing the setup just before Ragtime, the first play in the Smith Grand Theater, opened. The theaters maintain a packed schedule, with performances running Monday through Saturday and up to four shows staged daily. An American in Paris runs until July 19 in the Smith Grand Theater, while The Play That Goes Wrong plays in the Lindsay Legacy Theater until August 16. The Ruth and Nathan Hale Theater has quickly established itself as a premier performing arts venue. With an Elation lighting system enhancing the experience, the venue is poised to deliver top-class productions for years to come.
