The body of a man has been found after he reportedly jumped from the 10th floor of a Royal Caribbean Cruise.

The Oasis of the Seas cruise – which reportedly was catering to the LGBTQ community – was docked at Old Juan, just off Puerto Rico’s north shore, when a man reportedly went over the rails from the 10th floor of the ship, according to local reports.

Following a desperate search, CBS reports ‘divers found the body of a white male’ about an hour or so later.

Royal Caribbean later confirmed CCTV footage “indicates the man intentionally went overboard. A roll call is currently underway to identify the missing passenger.
