The Coast Guard suspended the search for an MSC Seascape cruise ship crewmember Wednesday night, who is believed to have fallen overboard in the Atlantic Ocean north of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. “My thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and fellow crewmembers of this young man,” said Capt. Jose E. Díaz, Sector San Juan commander.  “Losing a loved one or a fellow shipmate at sea is very difficult, may they find strength and closure during this most difficult time.  I commend the efforts of all the rescue units involved in the search efforts and truly appreciate the collaboration of our fellow partner agencies for their prompt response and assistance.”
