Prayers to his family.

Definitely prayers to the family....why do folks do this sort of thing on what is supposed to be a vacation and memorable....I guess the family will never forget it.

. So very sad. Prayers for all.

So sad.

Prayers for his family and friends.

Very sad...thoughts and prayers to his family.

Isn't this the third time this has happened in the last 2 weeks?

Terrible thing, seems more and more of this is going on. So sad for his family and friends.

So very sad for all. Prayers for the family.

Very sad.

Sorry to read about it but relieved it is not from HAL ship.

It is too bad that this was the man's answer to his problems. Feel badly for his family and friends.

Interesting to read that the Canadian Coast Guard is assisting with the search. Kudos to them and all who selflessly put themselves in harm's way for others' sake.

Thank you for the article.

Sorry to read this.

Prayers for his family and friends to get through this difficult time.

Suicide is, unfortunately, the answer for some ...BUT always so hard on family & friends .... :(

Interesting to read that the Canadian Coast Guard is assisting with the search.

That part wasn't entirely accurate. They were Canadian warships, not their Coast Guard. It was the HMCS Shawinigan and HMCS Goose Bay. They're coastal defense vessels, which is why the Herald probably confused them for CG.

I cannot explain other peoples feelings. However, I can understand not understanding why people do things. There are many days that life seems weird.. There are also days that it seems like why do we need to go forward. The final question has to be...can I go on, can my family understand why I am going to do this. The last question is the issue ---apparently anyone who does the final act ..feels that the family will understand how tortured they feel. I am so sorry for the family, friends, etc.

I am most sorry this happened!

It's very hard to understand. I remember standing at the stern of the Britanis one night and thinking how dreadful and lonely it would feel to be in the water watching the ship sailing away. And it's not just ships, of course. We have numerous people jumping off the George Washington Bridge here in NYC every year, and the biggest suicide magnet in the world is San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, with nearly 2,000 so far since it opened in 1937. I prefer to live remembering the only good line from the terrible 1973 musical remake of LOST HORIZON: "Do not seek death; it will find you."

Very sad. Prayers for him and those he has left behind

So very sad.:(:( Thoughts and prayers with his family.

So sad that this person thinks that it is the only way to solve his problems. I think this is the fourth man over board this year? Not a way you would want to remember your cruise.

Statistics show people do suicides in beautiful places or places they associate with pleasant times.

So sad that this person thinks that it is the only way to solve his problems.

Yes, indeed. I recall a quote from my younger days that has stayed with me throughout the years. It was in an Ethics class and the topic of the lecture was "Suicide: A Permanent Solution to a Temporary Problem."

Prayers for those left behind.
