I'll be watching Below Deck on TV in a different light in future.
I'm not sure if I wanted to see that the alleged murder failed in a suicide attempt or not.

Paige Bell, a South African national, was found murdered aboard a yacht on which she was a crew member, while it was docked in Eleuthera, Bahamas, July 3, 2025. The Royal Bahamas Police Force arrested her colleague on the ship with her murder

Charged with her death is 39-year-old Brigido Muños, a Mexican national who also worked on the vessel, according to Our News Bahamas.

Per the news outlet, a judge denied Muños’ bond, and his next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 20.

The Royal Bahamas Police Force said that Muños had “severe” wounds to his arms when they found him, and investigators think he tried to kill himself after he killed Bell.
