TEEN GIRL CHEERLEADER DEAD ON CARNIVAL CRUISE SHIP, FBI JOINS INVESTIGATION

Anna Kepner, 18, starts her senior year at Temple Christian School, excited about her future.

Anna paints her parking spot to match her favorite movie,”Clueless,” and is ecstatic to be back on the field, cheering for the Lions. She loves the water and is licensed to boat and scuba-certified. She also enjoys making TikTok videos with her friends and brother.

Anna plans on joining the military after high school and is already in talks with recruiters. In fact, she’s waiting on the results of her ASVAB testing to determine which jobs will suit her best.

Anna Kepner, a cheerleader, was found dead aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship during a recent western Caribbean voyage that ended in Miami on Saturday, November 8, 2025. The FBI is now investigating the death.

Carnival has stated it is fully cooperating with the investigation. The cause of death has not been released, and an autopsy is pending.

Anna Kepner’s Celebration of Life will be held November 20.
