The parents of Paige Bell, a 20-year-old yacht stewardess found dead in the engine room of a Harbour Island yacht in July, are grappling with profound grief as the accused in her death prepares to face court. John and Michelle Bell, speaking emotionally to The Tribune, described the devastating moment they learned of their daughter’s untimely death, just 11 days before her 21st birthday. ‘Whoever did this stole our world,’ Mrs. Bell said, her voice breaking. Paige, described as a vibrant and determined young woman, had been eagerly anticipating her milestone birthday, planning a ‘Pearls and Prosecco’ celebration. Her parents, however, were left to mourn the life that was tragically cut short. The Bells first learned of the incident through Paige’s boyfriend, who was unable to reach her. Initial suggestions of suicide were swiftly dismissed by the family, who knew their daughter would never take her own life. The confirmation of her death left Mrs. Bell in such shock that she required sedation. Paige’s absence has left an irreplaceable void in their lives, compounded by the loss of other family members earlier in the year. The Bells have found solace in the support of their community, with friends organizing a vigil in Paige’s memory. As they await justice, the family remains determined to ensure that Paige’s life and legacy are honored. ‘This has destroyed us,’ Mr. Bell said, ‘but we will fight for her.’
