But eventually, they let everybody know that he wasn’t found,” passenger Leevon Porter told WTKR.Symone Stewart, another passenger, told WTKR that Carnival Magic staff didn’t alert them about the man going overboard. He said that instead, he learned the man went overboard through a Facebook post published by his wife.
