The passenger who jumped overboard off a Royal Caribbean cruise after an argument with his dad has been identified as a 20-year-old Florida resident.
Police in Broward County on Wednesday identified the man as Levion Parker, of North Port, Florida, after the Coast Guard called off their search, according to Daily Mail.
Social media posts show Parker loved hunting and fishing and played football for North Port High School before he graduated in 2022.

The young man flung himself into the sea after his father was “fussing at him for being drunk,” fellow passenger Bryan Sims told The Post.
“When we got to them, he said to his dad, ‘I’ll fix this right now.’ And he jumped out the window in front of us all,” Sims said.
Parker had jumped off the 18-story Liberty of the Seas boat while it was sailing between Cuba and Bahamas’ Grand Inagua Island last week.
“He was pretty drunk,” Sims said.
