Crew reviewed CCTV and confirmed the overboard incident as the Coast Guard and Mexican Navy continued the search.
- A 56-year-old father, Thomas Gigler, was identified as the passenger who went overboard from the Carnival Panorama while the ship returned to Long Beach, California, from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
- Gigler was traveling with his wife, Michelle Gigler, and their three sons on a seven-night cruise along the Baja Peninsula, celebrating his 15th wedding anniversary on the voyage's final day.

- The Panorama returned to Long Beach on Sunday, while Gigler's sister, Wendy Dowden, told media the family is 'at a loss' and believes 'something must have happened in his head.'
