‘I'm sick to my stomach’: Coast Guard suspends search for vanished cruise passenger

Kevin McGrath, 26, mysteriously vanished from a Carnival cruise over Labor Day weekend while celebrating his dad's 60th birthday.
The Coast Guard searched over 3,300 square nautical miles but found no sign of McGrath. His family is distraught.
McGrath was last seen dancing and his keycard was used around 330am. He never showed up for breakfast.
The ship's overboard detection system did not go off and there's no evidence he went overboard. His disappearance is a mystery.
Between 2009-2019 there were 212 overboard incidents worldwide with only 48 rescued. Cruise ships have safeguards but people still go missing.
