Cruise passenger jumps from balcony and dies after falling overboard into ocean

The man, whose name has not been released, climbed over the balcony railing of his stateroom on the Carnival Liberty and jumped into the water, according to the cruise operator.

Crew members responded to the incident, initiating a search effort after the man plunged into the water, according to the cruise line.

"The Carnival Liberty crew responded quickly with a search effort and successfully retrieved him from the water, but he did not survive," the statement continued. 

Ship tracking information indicates the vessel had made a recent stop at Celebration Key, the cruise line's private island, before the incident, Cruise Hive reported.

The death marks the second serious incident involving the cruise line in recent days.

Authorities said she lost control of her mobility scooter while near the edge and went into the water.

Investigators believe the woman struck her head against the side of a docked ship before entering the water.
