Tyler Lee Barnett, 28, of Houma was reported missing by a family member Monday morning, just one day after the Carnival Glory disembarked from New Orleans for a weeklong cruise. NEW ORLEANS — The U.S. Coast Guard says a passenger who went overboard from a cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico was rescued on Thanksgiving after likely being in the water for hours. Carnival Cruises is continuing its investigation into McGrath’s disappearance and has been repeatedly reviewing closed-circuit video footage from the ship, a spokesperson told The Post Thursday. Carnival Cruise Line gave an update Tuesday afternoon on the missing passenger aboard Glory cruise ship. “We are currently searching a large area of more than 200 miles of the ship’s voyage path due to the uncertainty of the potential time of him falling overboard,” the Coast Guard said as it resumed the search Tuesday.

Missing Passenger Might Be In The Jungles Of Cozumel
Initially, the family suspected that their father and husband has been staying hydrated and using the bathrooms at local churches, but they weren’t sure if he had access to food. Rescue teams are now shifting strategies in their search for the 66-year-old passenger, who suffers from a form of dementia and may be confused in his unfamiliar surroundings. FBI Evidence Response Team members responded to the ship after it returned to Charleston on Saturday to process the guest's room. FBI notification and review “is a standard procedure in situations like this when there is a guest overboard, so that is nothing out of the ordinary,” the spokesperson says, echoing the FBI agent.

Coast Guard suspends search after Houma man reported missing from Carnival cruise ship
Brad Solomon was celebrating his birthday with his wife, Mimi Hyer Solomon, by taking a family cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas. Their 7-night voyage to Mexico was meant to be their last big vacation, as Brad Solomon suffers from frontotemporal dementia, a progressive disease that causes cognitive difficulties, such as difficulties communicating. Search for the missing cruise passenger from Icon of the Seas continues in Cozumel, Mexico, as efforts shift to the jungle. The investigation is ongoing, the FBI's Columbia field office spokesperson said. In July, Carnival Cruise Line issued a statement regarding another man who had reportedly gone missing while on one of their ships in Florida.
Crews had to briefly suspend the search due to weather Monday night.
An FBI Evidence Response Team processed the passenger's room after the ship returned to the Charleston port on March 4. The FBI said it investigates "certain crimes on the high seas, as well as suspicious deaths of U.S. persons." The death of a woman onboard a Carnival cruise ship in the Bahamas is being investigated by the FBI. On Tuesday, USCG Heartland told FOX Business the ship did not have footage or evidence that showed Barnett went overboard; however, he was not located on the vessel.

Barnett was traveling with family aboard the Carnival Glory ship, a 13-deck, 110,000-ton boat with the capacity to carry 2,980 passengers. There have been several instances of people going overboard on the ship, including a 35-year-old who jumped into the water near Florida in 2007 and was rescued eight hours later. A 65-year-old woman was found dead after jumping overboard in 2015, and another passenger, a 21-year-old student, was never found after falling overboard south of the Bahamas that same year. "Only on Tuesday were we advised of the possibility of him wearing a different shirt, which allowed our security team to change the profile of the guest as we searched onboard video," the Carnival spokesperson said. "We have informed the U.S. Coast Guard and are providing assistance to the guest’s family that was traveling with him."

"We are currently searching a large area of more than 200 miles of the ship’s voyage path due to the uncertainty of the potential time of him falling overboard." The U.S. Coast Guard confirms they are actively searching for a man who went missing while aboard the cruise ship Carnival Glory. Tyler Barnett of Houma, Louisiana, was reported missing by a family member from the Carnival Glory on Monday afternoon, a day after it left New Orleans. In a separate statement provided by Lupoli, the cruise line said Tuesday that all indications suggest the passenger died "a natural death due to a medical condition." "The FBI investigates certain crimes on the high seas, as well as suspicious deaths of U.S. persons," the statement continued.

"It appears that this was indeed a medical situation that sadly resulted in the death of a guest," Carnival said in Tuesday's statement, per the reports. In a statement on Tuesday, the cruise line said "all indications" suggest the woman died of a medical condition while on board Carnival Sunshine in The Bahamas, according to NBC and CBS News.

Before docking on Wednesday, the ship is also scheduled to call on Grand Cayman and Cozumel, a Carnival spokesperson said. The Coast Guard is in charge of the search and rescue operations and cleared Carnival Glory to proceed to Montego Bay, Jamaica, as scheduled. Later Tuesday, an Aviation Training Center Mobile HC-144 Ocean Sentry resumed search efforts. Dirlean Tate Mason, Barnett's grandmother, told NBC News his passenger card was last used at the ship’s casino and then later at his cabin door, but that his phone was in his room and his bed was not slept in. FBI officials previously said the death posed "no threat to any other passengers" and that the incident was isolated.
Coast Guard crews were searching 3,300 square nautical miles off the coast of Florida for Kevin McGrath, 26, who was reported missing by his family after he failed to show up to breakfast on the ship Monday morning. The cruise ship’s care team is currently supporting the missing man’s family, a spokesperson told The Post. According to a missing persons poster released by the Miami-Dade Police Department, 26-year-old Kevin McGrath was last seen on board the Carnival cruise ship Conquest early Monday morning. McGrath was reported missing by a family member, Carnival said in a statement to CBS News. A huge search was underway Tuesday for a 28-year-old man reported missing from a Carnival cruise ship during “dangerous weather conditions” battering the Gulf of Mexico. On Tuesday officials said they were advised of the possibility of him wearing a different shirt.
Instead, Brad went missing shortly after arriving in Cozumel and the search began. As Cozumel is only about 30 miles long and 10 miles wide (the whole island can be driven in an hour or less), it’s entirely possible Brad may have made his way to another part of the Mexican island. The new theory is that a kind citizen may be caring for him in the ejido areas of the jungle, which is a communally owned agricultural sector. The couple’s adult daughter, Savannah Miller, has also joined in the search and has been working to keep her dad’s name in the press by posting updates on her social media accounts. She hopes that her posts will help spread awareness to bring him home safely. Nathan Diller is a consumer travel reporter for USA TODAY based in Nashville.
"The FBI joined Carnival Sunshine upon its return to Charleston on Saturday to conduct an investigation into the death of a guest," the spokesperson said. Medical staff and crew members of Carnival's Sunshine vessel attempted to revive the woman after she was found unresponsive, the FBI Columbia field office said in a statement. "New security footage discovered by Carnival Glory shows the man jumping off the cruise ship," the Coast Guard posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday night. Lupoli told Forbes the cruise line is “providing assistance” to the missing passenger’s family who are still onboard, noting the ship is scheduled to dock in Jamaica’s Montego Bay on Wednesday after departing from New Orleans on Sunday.
The 44-year-old woman, who was not identified by name in the announcement, died on a voyage to Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, the FBI's field office in Columbia, South Carolina, said Sunday. "Our thoughts remain with the guest’s family for their loss," the spokesperson said. The passenger’s grandmother told NBC News his passenger card was last used at the ship’s casino and later at his cabin, adding his phone was left in his room and his bed wasn’t slept in. Carnival said that McGrath was "last seen in his cabin at approximately 7 a.m. according to his cabinmate." The Coast Guard says the man went missing sometime soon after the ship set sail from the Port of New Orleans on Sunday. They are providing assistance to the guest’s family that was traveling with him who are still on board.
"In the video we showed to his family, he can be seen intentionally opening a gate, walking into a restricted area, and jumping from a lifeboat," a Carnival spokesperson told FOX Business in a statement. The search for 28-year-old Tyler Barnett of Houma, Louisiana, resumed Wednesday morning after being paused due to severe weather conditions and safety concerns. A man has been missing for over two days after disappearing from a docked Carnival cruise ship in Miami, officials and the cruise line said. The Coast Guard launched search and rescue crews Thursday afternoon and alerted nearby ships to be watchful. McGrath’s disappearance comes just one week after a young college student fell overboard off the world’s largest cruise ship, the Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas.
“He appeared to be suffering from mild hypothermia, shock, dehydration, but his condition overall appeared stable,” Gross told WWL-TV, adding the man was taken for medical care. The Carnival Glory will arrive to Montego Bay, Jamaica on Wednesday as planned, officials said. “Coast Guard issued broadcasts and messages to mariners in the Gulf of Mexico notifying them of the missing passenger,” the agency added.
