A crew member working on the Carnival Conquest was crushed to death on Sunday in the Port of New Orleans.

A statement from Carnival Cruise Lines said the crew member "was elevated in a cherry picker performing maintenance work on the side of the vessel, and became wedged between the cherry picker and a platform holding one of the ship’s lifeboats.

"The ship’s medical team responded, along with local paramedics, but, tragically, the crew member died. Everyone in the Carnival family is heartbroken."

The identity of the victim was not released.
