Reply to comment by bronkscottema in Cruise ship passenger rescued from ocean isn't sure how he went overboard, he tells ABC by PichuLovy

Or, TBH he was suicidal, hit the water and changed his mind. Treaded water for 15 hours, and thought he'd rather not divulge the 'reason'.

Of which I totally respect. I just hope he gets some mental health treatment if necessary.

Or drugged, I was thinking that could also make sense

So far we have drunk, suicidal, and drugged. I'll add forcibly thrown overboard to the bingo card.

Ooo nice. How about he was drunk, drank a spiked drink, contemplated suicide, but ultimately was pushed off the ledge after having second thoughts.

Do people get drugged often on cruises? I feel like in a closed environment like that it would be fairly easy to find the culprit.

I have no idea, it’s basically a mini city with everyone partying, so I assume it happens sometimes

You go through typical airport security. So could be smuggled I guess, but would think chances are low.

I’m not talking about getting it in, that’s easy. But when you’re in a sealed environment with a certain amount of bars and there’s a traceable history of people getting sick it wouldn’t be too hard to find the source.
