The Florida high school cheerleader who died on a Carnival Cruise ship was found by a maid wrapped in a blanket and stuffed under a bed, according to a report.
Anna Kepner, 18, was discovered dead in her cabin on Nov. 7 while on a six-day Caribbean cruise with her family on the Carnival Horizon — but frustratingly few details had been released about her death, even to her family

However, two sources told the Daily Mail that the high schooler from Titusville was wrapped in a blanket, covered in life jackets and shoved underneath a bed when she was found dead.
Anna had told family members at dinner the night before that she was not feeling well and went back to her room, the sources said. But there was no sign of her the next morning when her family gathered for breakfast.

Her family began frantically searching the massive ship, which can hold nearly 4,000 passengers, but a maid discovered Anna’s body when she went into her cabin to clean it around 11 a.m.
After the grisly discovery, the ship changed course to the Port of Miami, Florida. The Miami Dade County Medical Examiner lists Anna’s time of death at 11: 17 a.m. on Nov. 7, but does not say how she died.

The FBI is handling the case because Anna died in international waters, but has not provided detail on how she died, her grieving father, Christopher Kepner, said last week.
