MAN OVERBOARD: Search Called Off For Missing Virginia Tech Student

A spring break cruise has ended tragically for a Virginia Tech student, who fell overboard on a Carnival Cruise ship over the weekend in the Bahamas. Coast Guard crews have now halted their search for the 21-year-old, who was identified by his family as Cameron Smook.

The Smook family, released a statement, which read in part, "Our son, Cameron Smook, and several of his friends departed from Miami on Saturday, March 7th aboard the Carnival Glory for a Caribbean cruise. On Sunday morning, March 8th we were notified by Carnival Cruise Line officials that Cameron had accidentally fallen overboard during the night and was missing at sea. The United States Coast Guard was notified and began search and rescue efforts. After conducting an extensive air and sea search these efforts were suspended last evening pending further developments. We thank the Coast Guard for their outstanding service and for keeping us informed throughout this ordeal." (WAVY News)
