On September 13, a 56-year-old man went missing after reportedly jumping off the Carnival Panorama cruise ship while it was returning from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to Long Beach, California. A spokesperson for Carnival confirmed that cameras captured the incident but did not provide further details about the circumstances leading up to the jump. The US Coast Guard, along with Mexican naval forces and commercial vessels in the area, is currently conducting a search operation for the missing passenger, though no immediate response was given when contacted by the Guardian.

Story summary
On September 16, a 56-year-old man named Thomas Gigler jumped overboard from the Carnival Panorama while it was sailing back to Long Beach, California from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The incident occurred on the ship's 11th deck during the last day of a week-long cruise. After Gigler went missing, his wife Michelle alerted crew members who initiated an extensive search, including reviewing surveillance footage and notifying both the U.S. Coast Guard and Mexican Navy. Despite efforts to locate him, he has not been found, and authorities now presume him dead. Gigler was a computer programmer for Esri with no apparent reason to commit suicide, leaving his family bewildered by his actions.
