New video shows the final moments a Louisiana high school graduate was seen alive after the 18-year-old followed through on a dare last week to jump off a cruise ship near Nassau, Bahamas.

The video starts with Cameron Robbins seen swimming off the side of the boat, and someone exclaiming “This kid f—-ing jumped off!”

Mr. Robbins was only wearing swim trunks and no life vest when he threw himself overboard around 9:40 p.m. on May 23.

Onlookers can be heard in panicked screams telling the recent grad to swim toward a lifesaver already in the water, but Mr. Robbins appears to turn in the opposite direction. He disappears into the darkness soon after.    

The U.S. Coast Guard and the Royal Bahamas Defence Force (RBDF) suspended its search for Mr. Robbins last Friday. The Coast Guard said its crews searched more than 325 square miles for the young man, to no avail.

“We were informed by the RBDF this evening that they were suspending the active search efforts pending further developments, and were not requesting further Coast Guard assistance after notifying the Robbins family. We offer our sincerest condolences to Cameron Robbins’ family and friends,” Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Spado, Coast Guard liaison officer to the Bahamas, said in a press release.

Mr. Robbins was on a trip to celebrate his high school graduation from University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge.

Kevin George, the school’s director, told local ABC affiliate WBRZ-TV that Mr. Robbins was joined by about 10-15 graduates from his school, as well as graduates from other Baton Rouge area high schools.

Mr. George said the trip was not a school-sanctioned event.
