The daughter of an 80-year-old woman found dead after allegedly being abandoned by her cruise ship recently called for a coronial inquest into her mother's death, calling the incident "a failure of care and common sense."

Suzanne Rees, who was partaking in a luxury 60-day cruise in Australia , was found dead Sunday after she was reported missing Saturday night.

Rees was last seen on a group hiking tour of Lizard Island , about 200 miles north of Cairns, but did not return to the Coral Adventurer cruise ship—which left at about 6 p.m. Saturday.

Witnesses said they heard commotion on the radio and saw the ship returning to the island on a vessel tracker.
