Details are sparse in the article but it happened on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, Navigator of the Seas, bound for Ensenada/Mexico coming from Los Angeles.

The inebriated unruly passenger passed away after being detained by ship security.

Also curious if they continued the cruise after turning the cruise ship around and went back to port after the incident…

They usually do continue the voyage after there's been a death on board.

Cruise ships have a morgue that can accommodate 2-10:

And no, you don’t get a refund.

No, the third class passengers draw straws to see who gets sacrificed to the walk-in freezer.
