An 80-year-old Australian woman's remains were found after a cruise ship allegedly left her behind on an island.

Her body was recovered on Sunday, according to ABC News Australia. The search for her was launched Saturday night after she was reported missing hours after the Coral Adventurer cruise ship visited Lizard Island , which is about 200 miles north of Cairns.

The unidentified woman had been on a group hiking tour of the island, but did not return to the ship, which departed between 6 and 7 p.m. local time.

"We heard the conversation on the radio. They were looking for someone and the last known location was halfway up the hill," South Pacific II fishing and charter boat owner Rob Siganto told the outlet.
