British stewardess, 32, died after breaking spine from fall down step in her cabin when she returned

A stewardess found dead on a £6 million luxury yacht fractured her spine when she fell down a step to her cabin after a night out, an inquest heard, Daily Mail reported.

Rebecca Boyle, 32, of Burghclere, Hampshire, was discovered the next morning on board the La Polonia, which was moored in the Italian Riviera port of Imperia.

Ms Boyle had been out drinking vodka with a friend on the night of England's World Cup victory over Colombia on July 3 before she was escorted to her boat.

The next morning Ms Boyle, who had only been working on the boat for a week, was found in an 'unnatural position' with catastrophic injuries in the cabin where she slept alone.
