Is it possible he had a cigarette at first and threw it out of the ship?
He strikes me as someone who smokes marijuana often and plays a lot of video games. Similar to the kind of 30-ish adult child who refuses to move out of the house. Except he's 51, married to the same person most of his life, gainfully employed, and aside from repeatedly driving without a seatbelt, no other negative info on him exists. He may normally be a super friendly, straight-arrow guy. The rest of the family seems like very nice people for the most part, particularly Mr. Weigand, aside from blaming RCCL (and we've noted perhaps this effort isn't necessarily steered by him).
I'm not putting down pot smokers, just referring to the type who also tends to be immature and makes this a huge part of their life - which I realize sometimes happens due to medical issues and depression.
He seems like someone his wife had to police. Like a lot of wives do. If so I wouldn't be surprised. All total speculation and admittedly mean-spirited on my part... just the impression I get from him. I used to sympathize with him a lot as far as making the worst mistake you could make. And he should have never done a tv interview. Bet his attorney said no to that. This family still hasn't been thinking straight. Maybe because they are surrounded by support and encouragement in their circle of family, friends, colleagues, and of course Winkleman.
I do not think the family is going to ever drop this lawsuit; they have pursued it rigorously and it isn't costing them any money to pursue it.
