In another video he dubbed a “typical Levion moment,” Parker feeds pelicans a fish out of his hands from a boat. The TikTok video was posted by Parker’s friend, Kaleb Felty, on March 27 and shows Parker beaming on a boat off Florida and splashing around in the shallows. "When he jumped into the water, he could have hit his head on the boat," Spears says. "He could have hit his head on the water, like slapping the water with his head. Either way could cause dizziness, a concussion or confusion."

"Our thoughts and prayers have been and will remain with the Robbins family during this difficult time." "He is a fierce competitor on the baseball field. He is a hard worker both on and off of the playing field.

Missing Louisiana Teen Cameron Robbins Jumped From Boat On Dare, New Video Shows

The mystery deepens into what really took the life of the high school graduate who disappeared after jumping off a tourist boat, reportedly on a dare. Cameron Robbins, a Louisiana resident, was celebrating his high school graduation when he was reportedly dared to jump overboard on a cruise. Jamie Barnett, president of the non-profit organization International Cruise Victims Association, has been long-campaigning for legislation that helps protect passengers on cruise ships and increase the rights of victims. Cameron was onboard a party Carnival cruise ship with his friends during a reportedly boozy evening. Missing teenager and baseball star Cameron Robbins was let down by the cruise industry due to one "negligent fact", a safety campaigner has claimed. The US Coast Guard and Royal Bahamas Defence Force spent several days searching for Cameron before suspending their efforts on 27 May.

The Baton Rouge 18-year-old was enjoying a sunset cruise with several hundred fellow graduates May 24 when he leaped overboard from a vessel designed to look like a pirate ship — apparently on a dare. As Louisiana high-school grad Cameron Robbins vanished beneath shark-infested waters after jumping from a boat in the Bahamas, someone yelled, “Bye, bye! A teenager aboard a cruise ship plunged to his death last week, prompting an investigation by police in Florida. The cruise ship initially searched for several hours for the missing student without any success. That’s when the Coast Guard and Royal Bahamas Defence Force launched their similarly failed search-and-rescue mission. Meanwhile, a haunting new video emerged Monday, appearing to show the chaotic scene on the boat immediately following Robbins’ jumping ship.

Cameron Robbins’ parents break silence over loss of teen who jumped off party boat in Bahamas

Cameron Robbins, 18, was celebrating with classmates on a pirate-themed party boat in the Bahamas when he jumped into shark-infested waters. A woman whose son was friends with Robbins and on the boat at the time told Fox News Digital that several students tried to grab Robbins before he took the plunge, but he broke free. '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. "'Our Coast Guard command centre and aircrews based in Miami supported RBDF search and rescue efforts since the initial report Wednesday evening, and continued through Friday evening.

A man who jumped to his death from a Royal Caribbean cruise last week was identified by media outlets Wednesday as Levion Parker, a 20-year-old Floridian who regularly posted about hunting and fishing. Heartbreaking video shows 20-year-old Levion Parker happily swimming in the ocean and fishing with his pals just a week before he drunkenly jumped off a Royal Caribbean cruise ship and was never seen again. The teen, who had just graduated days ago from the University Laboratory School in Baton Rogue, was filmed jumping into the water, just a few feet from the boat, before disappearing. According to a witness, crews made multiple unsuccessful attempts to locate Robbins as the boat, resembling a pirate ship, stayed in the area for several hours. Chilling footage from that night shows the moment the teen jumps into the dark waters in his swimming trunks, with no life jacket, splashing several feet from the boat, before drifting into the darkness. "Our Coast Guard command center and aircrews based in Miami supported RBDF search and rescue efforts since the initial report Wednesday evening, and continued through Friday evening."

Cameron was a high school baseball star in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and incredibly fit. However, experts are weighing in and saying that they don't believe a shark ended the high school senior's life. Sunday's memorial service will begin at 4 p.m., with visitation hours between 2 and 4 p.m. He has "been here throughout his entire educational career. He's an athlete, great kid, great smile, great head of hair. Just one of the kids you're so proud of when they cross the stage," George said.

“There was a lot of yelling, and the crew was alerted immediately,” cruise passenger Deborah Morrison told The Post. Despite the fact Cameron jumped because of a dare, a group of his fellow students say they did try to physically prevent him from jumping off the ship, but were unable to stop him. Brian Trascher assisted in the search for Cameron as part of United Cajun Navy, a local volunteer group that assists in search and rescue efforts. Kevin George, the director of the school, told local news outlet WBRZ that Robbins was a "special kid." The video appears to show a shadowy object in the water move toward the recent high school grad, who was swimming toward a life preserver before changing direction. Experts have told Fox News Digital there is a vast array of marine life, including dolphins, tiger sharks and bull sharks in those waters that feed off the scraps from the boats.

"'Extra counsellors will be available on campus to speak with students and faculty who are struggling to process this news. University Lab School Director Kevin George said Cameron attended the school for all thirteen years of his education. A GoFundMe page has been set up for the teenager's family who are going through an "unimaginable situation."

Loved ones reportedly witnessed Parker jump off the 11th deck of the Liberty of the Seas cruise liner in what appeared to be an “impulsive leap,” the Post reported last week, citing a witness. Video obtained by WBRZ shows Robbins swimming in the ocean without a life jacket on, dressed only in swim trunks. Francel Parker is demanding to know how his underage son was given alcohol on the four-day cruise. Felty posted several other videos of Parker, including one of him hunting with a bow and arrow.

Three days later, Robbins and his friends joined graduates from other schools for a celebratory trip to the Bahamas, staying at the Atlantis Paradise Resort. “We offer our sincerest condolences to Cameron Robbins’ family and friends,” said Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Spado, Coast Guard liaison officer to the Bahamas. Royal Caribbean said it “immediately” launched search boats to look for him with help from the US Coast Guard.

And now a cruise ship safety campaigner has slammed the industry for failing to act responsibly after the ship was allegedly serving passengers alcohol all night. The Coast Guard provided air assistance in the search and rescue mission, which was being led by the Royal Bahamas Defence Force, according to Petty Officer 3rd Class Ryan Estrada. The U.S. Coast Guard has ended their search for a Louisiana teenager who went overboard during a sunset cruise in the Bahamas on Wednesday night. The Louisiana high school graduate who disappeared after leaping off a cruise ship into dark waters off the Bahamas last week may have met a grisly fate in the “shark-infested” area, a local official said. Parker jumped off the 18-deck Liberty of the Seas, and Royal Caribbean said it “immediately” launched search boats to look for him with help from the U.S.

The U.S. Coast Guard said Thursday that it was assisting with search efforts for a missing U.S. citizen "believed to have fallen overboard from a sunset cruise near Nassau" on Wednesday. He has been missing since he jumped overboard on April 4 in front of his brother and father on the cruise to Cuba and the Bahamas. In chaotic videos passengers posted to social media after the incident, a "man overboard" alarm can be heard over the loudspeaker; police said their investigation later revealed that the death happened on board. The high school baseball standout graduated from Baton Rouge's U-High on May 21, and his last posts on Instagram include pictures of him surrounded by his family and friends. A video has surfaced showing boat passengers in the Bahamas moments after an 18-year-old Louisiana star baseball player jumped off the ship in response to a dare, resulting in a fatal outcome.
