Man overboard! Passenger falls off Bahamas cruise ship
The Coast Guard has given up its search for a 39-year-old Norwegian Cruise Line passenger off the Bahamas. The man fell off the boat early yesterday morning, approximately 60 miles north of Nassau. Though he hasn't been identified, other passengers saw him take the plunge.
Other cruise ships in the area contributed to the search for this lone moron passenger. But, at 8 PM yesterday, the Coast Guard said it was suspending the search after having scoured 590 square miles.
Clearly, it pays not to get too close to the edge of the ship ... unless being on a boat isn't your idea of going out to sea.
UPDATE: Our hearts go out to the family of the victim. We are sorry for your loss.

I was on the same floor, the room had security from the moment this happened until porting in Nassua. Shortly thereafter a crime lab team boarded and spent about 30 minutes in the room. After this the room no longer had security. The following morning (Sunday) it appeared that 3 family members (3 women) with ship officials went to the room I cannot speculate what they did other then maybe remove belongings. The night/morning this happened, there was first an alert to crew members over the entire ships intercome, shortly thereafter an announcement by the ships captain explaining a guest was overboard and for anyone up and about to help looking . A very sad situation, I believe more information helps everyone with closer.

Life can be confusing, people are complicated and fate can be capricious. This can be frightening to those of us who wish for the reassurance of simple answers. I was collaborating with Dr. Molbert on a case before his death and was impressed with his knowledge and judgment. Heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, co-workers and patients
