The mom and brothers of Kimberly Burch, 51, acquired no calls from authorities or the cruiseline about her loss of life — and solely discovered of the tragedy from her longtime boyfriend, Quicker Pussycat singer Taime Downe, who had been employed to carry out on the seven-day ’80s-themed voyage aboard the Explorer of the Seas.

Even after her household, who lives in Alabama, reached out to Royal Caribbean, the corporate refused to debate the state of affairs.

“We saved calling, however they wouldn’t inform us something. The primary girl I spoke with stated we must speak to her emergency contact, however she wouldn’t inform us who the emergency contact was. She was form of impolite,” Kip Burch lamented.

The household nonetheless has no clue whether or not Kimberly — who left her small city within the Alabama backwoods to pursue a modeling profession in Los Angeles — fell from her cabin balcony by chance, selected to leap or was pushed, as some web sleuths speculate.

“We really feel misplaced … We now have no solutions in any respect,” her different brother, Keith Burch, stated. “One thing occurring to certainly one of your family members, and never even understanding what occurred — it’s terrible.”

Burch, a police officer within the city of Moundville, about 70 southwest of Birmingham, stated he has exhausted his legislation enforcement connections looking for out one thing — something — about what occurred to his sister.

Although he ultimately bought by way of to sheriffs within the Explorer of the Seas’ residence port of Miami, they instructed him a full investigation wouldn’t start till the vessel returned to port on Sunday.

“I’ve appeared on the issues swirling round social media, however I don’t take note of it as a result of no actual investigation has even began,” Kip Burch stated.

Rumors of foul play exploded after the revelation that Downe and Burch had gotten right into a shouting match shortly earlier than the incident and that she had been ingesting on the cruise, which was uncommon for her, her mom Carnell Burch instructed TMZ.

Kimberly Burch appeared blissful in Los Angeles, by no means talked about psychological well being points and had been trying ahead to the Caribbean trip together with her movie star beau, whom she had been relationship for about six years, Kip revealed.

Neither brother had met Downe, whose band’s largest hit was the 1989 energy ballad “Home of Ache,” in particular person and knew little about their sister’s relationship, although nothing in regards to the rocker raised purple flags, he added.

Simply after Kimberly Burch’s tragic fall, as rescuers from the US Coast Guard and the Royal Bahamas Protection Pressure searched the seas for her, legislation enforcement sealed off the couple’s cabin and wouldn’t even let Downe again inside for a change of garments — forcing the “Poison Ivy” singer to wander the deck in his pajamas, Kip Burch’s mom instructed her sons after talking with Downe.

For now, all of the brothers can do is anticipate solutions and help their mom, who’s in her late 70s, confined to a wheelchair and has been “completely destroyed” by her daughter’s loss of life.

“Our mother raised us. She labored on a regular basis. I suppose we have been poor, however we didn’t know we have been poor as a result of our mother by no means allow us to go with out something,” Kip Burch recalled.
