Relatives of an autistic Georgia man who jumped overboard on a Carnival Cruise ship said he may have believed he was going swimming.
“Carnival Cruise Line regrets to report that the 22-year-old male guest with autism who was missing on Carnival Fantasy went overboard after climbing over the deck rail,” said Carnival in a statement to WKRG. “His family believes he may have been under the mistaken assumption that he was going swimming.”
