"Once the vessel came into the port, they responded to a deceased person on the ship," Thomas said. No foul play is suspected in the boy's death, Miami-Dade Police Detective Chris Thomas said. The ship was on its way to Fort Lauderdale after four days of sailing between Cuba and the Bahamas’ Grand Inagua Island. Robbins had attended the school for 13 years, according to Kevin George, the director of LSU’s College of Human Sciences and Education. They said they were returning to Raton Rouge when the search was called off.

Teen plunges to death from cruise ship that was returning to Miami

According to witnesses, the teen — who was apparently acting on a dare — took a plunge off a party cruise into the ocean near Athol Island at night. Cameron Robbins, 18, graduated from University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge in May and was on a trip to the Bahamas with students from several local high schools. "Our team immediately notified authorities and our care team assisted the young man’s family on board," the statement said. "All of us at MSC Cruises are heartbroken. The family remains in our thoughts and prayers." Just one of the kids you’re so proud of when they cross the stage,” George told CNN.

The cruise ship was at the tail end of a five-day journey in the Caribbean. "A young man traveling with his family on board MSC Seashore appears to have died of suicide Wednesday evening. Our team immediately notified authorities and our care team is assisting the young man’s family on board. While not confirmed by the United States Coast Guard press release, Royal Bahamas Defence Force Commodore Raymond King spoke to the media during the days of the search about the possibility of a shark attack. "The industry loves to say that passenger safety is their number one concern but they certainly aren't putting their time, money, and attention where their mouth is. "Much change is needed in regards to the cruise industry's passenger safety and security policies", she said.

In an emotional video posted on YouTube, one passenger sailing on the MSC Seashore reacted to the "Man Overboard" alarm in real time. At one point, the person in the water appears to turn and swim in the opposite direction of the lifesaver ring that was thrown overboard. "Our thoughts and prayers have been and will remain with the Robbins family during this difficult time." Cameron was a star pitcher for the University Laboratory School's baseball team. "It is clear that the persons involved in both of these overboard incidents had likely been drinking heavily and somehow, the cruise lines are able to avoid any of the consequences of such irresponsible policies."

A search party was was initially launched but on May 27, the United States Coast Guard, who had been assisting the Royal Bahamas Defence Force in the search, confirmed that the search had been concluded. "Our school community is struggling right now but hoping for the very best. "He is a fierce competitor on the baseball field. He is a hard worker both on and off of the playing field.

According to witnesses, Parker was confronted by his father about drinking early on April 4. Levion Parker told his father, “I’ll fix this right now,” a moment before he turned and jumped out of a window and overboard. According to witnesses, the video shows Robbins drifting in the other direction away from the body before disappearing entirely into the vast ocean waters. Video obtained by WBRZ shows Robbins swimming in the ocean without a life jacket on, dressed only in swim trunks. “I have been in touch with Cameron’s family and at this time, authorities are still searching for him in the Bahamas,” George wrote.

A video has surfaced showing boat passengers in the Bahamas moments after an 18-year-old Louisiana star baseball player jumped off the ship in response to a dare, resulting in a fatal outcome. Search efforts for a Louisiana teen who had been missing after he reportedly jumped overboard on a dare in the Bahamas this week have been suspended, officials said. The family of Cameron Robbins remembers the Baton Rouge, Louisiana high school graduate as an intense, driven, funny, and kind-hearted son.

"We offer our sincerest condolences to Cameron Robbins’ family and friends," the U.S. As Louisiana high-school grad Cameron Robbins vanished beneath shark-infested waters after jumping from a boat in the Bahamas, someone yelled, “Bye, bye! A Florida man says he believes his 20-year-old son is still alive, days after he jumped from an 18-story cruise ship, according to the North Port Daily Sun. The cruise ship initially searched for several hours for the missing student without any success. That’s when the Coast Guard and Royal Bahamas Defence Force launched their similarly failed search-and-rescue mission. The boat, designed to resemble a pirate ship, remained in the area for several hours as crew members tried to find the teen.

Jamie believes that if the Man Overboard Detection Technology, which detects anyone going overboard, was installed in more cruise ships in the US and around the world, it could have saved more lives. 18-year-old Cameron, from Louisiana, US, disappeared after reportedly being urged to jump into the shark-infested waters without a life jacket on May 24. Douglas adds that while conspiracy theories can be meant as a salve, they do have real-world consequences.

And now a cruise ship safety campaigner has slammed the industry for failing to act responsibly after the ship was allegedly serving passengers alcohol all night. Cameron was onboard a party Carnival cruise ship with his friends during a reportedly boozy evening. Chilling footage from that night shows the moment the teen jumps into the dark waters in his swimming trunks, with no life jacket, splashing several feet from the boat, before drifting into the darkness. According to a witness, crews made multiple unsuccessful attempts to locate Robbins as the boat, resembling a pirate ship, stayed in the area for several hours.

According to witnesses, public statements, and the Robbins family, Robbins’ death was an unfortunate, heartbreaking accident. But while this doesn’t exactly count under our current understanding of true crime, Robbins’ death has nonetheless been sensationalized in the exact same way. Cameron Robbins, 18, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was staying at the Atlantis Paradise resort in Nassau with other teenagers to celebrate their recent high school graduation, WBRZ reported. The viral cellphone video of Robbins in the water, which was seen over 10 million times, went through virtually every type of edit on social media after a speculation-fueled narrative that Robbins encountered a shark gripped people's curiosities. The parents of an 18-year-old high school graduate who fell overboard on a sunset cruise in the Bahamas have broken their silence. The US Coast Guard and local Bahaman authorities spent days looking for Robbins before calling off their search last week after scouring more than 325 square miles of ocean.

And while Robbins is no longer here, he is survived by a grieving community — all of whom will have access to the things people are saying about their loved one. “He will be missed desperately by his family and friends,” his obituary read, “who will carry their cherished memories of him to eternity.” For Robbins’ sake, and the sake of his family, the internet should let him rest. "The Bahamas government has called off the rescue for Cameron and we are returning to Baton Rouge," the family said in a statement. The ship was near Athol Island an uninhabited island located northeast of Nassau, according to WBRZ. Videos show Robbins jumping from the boat and swimming with a life preserver nearby. The high school baseball standout graduated from Baton Rouge's U-High on May 21, and his last posts on Instagram include pictures of him surrounded by his family and friends.

Jamie believes the cruise industry does not take into consideration how much a passenger has drunk, which puts them at an increased risk of danger. Video showed Robbins splashing in the dark water just a few feet from the boat before he disappeared. There had been inclement weather reported in the area that night, according to Fox News.

Cameron Robbins, who graduated from University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge this past Sunday, was on a trip to the Bahamas with students from several local high schools, staying at Atlantis Paradise Island resort in Nassau, reported the station WAFB. Jamie Barnett, president of the non-profit organization International Cruise Victims Association, has been long-campaigning for legislation that helps protect passengers on cruise ships and increase the rights of victims. The teen, who had been celebrating his Sunday graduation from University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge, was on a senior trip with students from several local high schools and was staying at Atlantis Paradise Island resort in Nassau.
