According to American media reports, a pianist who fell overboard from a cruise ship was found by two fishermen approximately 32 km off the coast of California.
Grant Garrett and Sean Norton spotted a person in the water near Catalina Island on Friday. According to authorities, he could have spent nine hours in the Pacific Ocean, writes the BBC.
The man, whose name has not been released, was taken to the hospital in stable condition, the US Coast Guard told the BBC, adding that it is investigating the incident.
Royal Caribbean confirmed that the rescued person is its employee.
According to the fishermen, the man told them he was a pianist on the 14-deck cruise ship Ovation of the Seas.
“He just told me, ‘Thank you. I thought I was going to die,’ ” Sean Norton recounted.
The Coast Guard reported that the fishermen pulled a conscious person from the water and handed him over to rescuers in Newport Beach, who confirmed that the rescued individual was an employee of the cruise ship Ovation of the Seas.
Rescuers believe he may have fallen overboard around 2:30 AM, approximately nine hours before he was spotted in the water.
