MIAMI, Muharram 25, 1437, November 07, 2015, SPA -- The Coast Guard has suspended its search for a Brazilian man who jumped onto a lifeboat on the side of a cruise ship before he plunged into the ocean, AP reported. In a statement Saturday, officials said an airplane and helicopter crews had searched an area covering 931 square nautical miles northeast of Mayaguana, Bahamas. Fellow passengers watched in horror Friday as the man clung to the lifeboat for more than a minute. It wasn't clear why the man jumped toward the lifeboat. Officials only identified the passenger as a 35-year-old man from Brazil. A short video clip was briefly posted to YouTube but then taken down. It shows several people apparently trying to help him. --SPA 23:51 LOCAL TIME 20:51 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
