U.S. Coast Guard Launches Search for 35-Year-Old Man Who Went Overboard From Cruise Ship

The U.S. Coast Guard is searching for a 35-year-old man who went overboard from a Carnival Magic cruise ship on Monday. The ship was 186 miles east of Jacksonville, Florida at the time of the incident.

Security footage shows the man leaning over the railing of his room balcony and falling into the water at around 4:10 a.m. on Monday, according to a statement from the cruise corporation. The Coast Guard has not released any identifying information about the man other than his age.

The Coast Guard has deployed air and water teams to search for the man. The cruise ship was released from search and rescue efforts and is continuing its way to Norfolk, Virginia, where it is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday.

This incident follows another overboard incident last week when an 18-year-old from Louisiana went overboard from a boat during a sunset cruise in the Bahamas, according to authorities. The U.S. Coast Guard is continuing its search for the 35-year-old man and has not yet released any further information.
