A 72-year-old American man is believed to have gone overboard from the Ruby Princess just before the cruise ship reached San Francisco early Monday morning. The passenger, who was traveling alone, remains missing as the investigation continues.

Princess Cruises released a statement confirming that “other possibilities” have been ruled out after an extensive review of the ship’s CCTV footage and several thorough searches. “CCTV footage has also been extensively reviewed, and the ship was searched thoroughly several times without success,” the statement read. “We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the guest.”

The Ruby Princess arrived in San Francisco at 6:50 a.m. (local time) after a five-day trip to Ensenada. The Ruby Princess is en route from San Francisco to Honolulu, Hawaii.
