Coast Guard Searches for Missing Royal Caribbean Ship Passenger

Royal Caribbean Ship off The Coast of Key Largo, Florida -
Coast Guard crews are searching for a 46-year-old man who fell 100 feet overboard from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship that was sailing off the coast of Key Largo, Florida.

The Coast Guard identified the passenger as David Mossman of Texas. The circumstances surrounding the incident are unknown.

A Royal Caribbean spokesperson said a guest on the Navigator of the Seas ship reported seeing another guest falling overboard from a stateroom balcony just before 11 p.m. Friday.

Ship crew members and the Coast Guard immediately began a search, the cruise line said.

"Early Saturday morning, the ship was advised by the Coast Guard that they would be assuming control of the search and the ship resumed its journey to Port Everglades, Florida," Royal Caribbean said in a statement.

Royal Caribbean did not name the missing guest but did identify him as a 46-year-old man from the U.S.

More information. I had always thought you couldn't "fall off" a cruise ship, but you could be thrown off or jump off. I would be interested to hear more details.

Mossman and his mother "got into a big argument" Friday night and Mossman was later spotted talking to a fellow passenger on the balcony. The passenger turned away for a moment, then heard a splash, and Mossman was gone.

Another reason I don't ride these. If I can't pull off beside the road, then it's not for me.

According to public records, Mossman had a checkered history which included charges of domestic violence battery, driving while intoxicated and driving under the influence.

The 46-year-old, who attended Temple College, posted images on his Facebook stating: 'Nails didn't hold God to a Cross. Love did'.

Earlier last month, he also posted: 'PS. God is still working on me.'
