Summary

Thomas Gigler, a 56-year-old computer programmer from Redlands, California, went overboard from the Carnival Panorama cruise ship on September 19, 2026, during a seven-night Mexican Riviera cruise. The ship was returning to Long Beach when the incident occurred approximately 57 miles off the Mexican coast. Surveillance footage confirmed Gigler went overboard from the 11th deck. The U.S. Coast Guard, Mexican Navy, and commercial vessels conducted an extensive search covering over 1,707 square miles for more than 41 hours without locating him. The search has been suspended and Gigler is presumed dead. Reports differ on whether he jumped intentionally or fell; some sources describe it as a jump while others use neutral language. The motive remains unclear, with unsubstantiated speculation about possible mental health issues or marital problems.
