An 18-year-old woman from Belleville, Ont., has died while on a graduation trip to Cuba Thursday evening.
Family members of Alex Sagriff confirmed her death in a statement posted online on Saturday, but said they don't have a lot of information on what happened.
The statement says they have few details of what happened and the family's main concern is trying to get her home.
The statement says Sagriff was found dead in her hotel room in Varadeo, Cuba, while on a trip organized by S-Trip, a student trip company.
She had just graduated from high school in Belleville, Ont. and was to attend Loyalist College in the fall.
The family says Alex was an amazing young woman who had a ton of friends and family who loved her.
The Canadian government has confirmed the death of a Canadian in Cuba, and said consular officials are in touch with both Cuban officials and Sagriff's family.
