Authorities officially designated Robbins as "lost at sea," which is the same as a death certificate, and a memorial service for Robbins will be held Sunday at Broadmoor United Methodist Church in Baton Rouge. "The possibility of survival decreases significantly, particularly if a person is not adorned with a life vest and particularly if they are perceived to have been intoxicated. Royal Bahamas Defense Force Commodore Raymond King has told the Daily Mail the the water in that area are “really shark-infested,” which has fueled the shark-attack theory. Robbins disappeared three days after his graduation from University Laboratory School. “He initially goes for the buoy but then turns around when he sees the shark, ultimately disappearing into the water, likely dragged down.

The International Shark Attack File, a database of all known shark attacks, shows that only 32 shark attacks have been reported in the Bahamas since 1949. This is the highest figure in the region, with Cuba in second with 13 and Puerto Rico in third with 11. A few hours after checking in, Robbins and the other newly minted high-school grads boarded the Pirate’s Revenge boat for an evening pleasure cruise near the uninhabited Athol Island, located north of Nassau. 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. That is until he vanished behind the boat and out of view of everyone, who began screaming at him to grab a life preserver that'd been thrown to him -- which was pretty far away, and he didn't end up reaching it.

Robbins was in the Bahamas with his friends for a holiday after graduation when he disappeared, and McMurray has analysed the footage of his last moments, believing that there might have been a shark in the water. Kevin McMurray runs a website called trackingsharks.com, and dedicates himself to collecting stories and information about shark attacks around the globe. A shark expert has given his thoughts on what might have happened during the last moments of Cameron Robbins, who was last seen jumping off a boat in the Bahamas, before disappearing beneath the dark water. Douglas adds that while conspiracy theories can be meant as a salve, they do have real-world consequences. And while Robbins is no longer here, he is survived by a grieving community — all of whom will have access to the things people are saying about their loved one. “He will be missed desperately by his family and friends,” his obituary read, “who will carry their cherished memories of him to eternity.” For Robbins’ sake, and the sake of his family, the internet should let him rest.

Cameron Robbins went on a trip to the Bahamas to celebrate his graduation from the University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He and several friends were aboard the Blackbeard’s Revenge cruise on 24 May when Cameron allegedly jumped off the boat on a dare. 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.

The University Lab School Director Kevin George told WAFB that Cameron had attended the school for 13 years. The teen also played baseball for the school, which operates as part of Louisiana State University. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the Robbins Family during this incredibly difficult time. Out of respect for the Robbins family’s privacy, we feel it’s inappropriate to comment on the details surrounding the night of the incident.

The Royal Bahamas Police Force is investigating claims that Robbins jumped overboard as part of a dare, according to WBRZ. There has been much speculation about what happened to the Louisiana teenager since his disappearance, which took place after he dived into the water - allegedly as a dare - during a sunset pirate-themed cruise aboard the ship. The 18-year-old baseball star was last seen on board a boat called Blackbeard’s Revenge, before he jumped into the water. Nearly 400 people have gone overboard on major cruise lines between 2000 and 2020, according to the Washington Post. He also played football for North Port High School before he graduated in 2022, according to the Daily Mail.

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. Cameron Robbins, a Louisiana resident, was celebrating his high school graduation when he was reportedly dared to jump overboard on a cruise. In case getting stuck in the middle of the ocean at night wasn't terrifying enough, the waters off Athol Island are infested with sharks, according to Royal Bahamas Defense Force Commodore Raymond King (per DailyMail). Footage showed Robbins idling in the water as the cruise ship moved along, gradually out of Robbins' view in a slow and agonizing sight.

Robbins, a standout baseball player, graduated from University Laboratory High School in Baton Rouge on May 21. The party ship remained in the area for several hours while the crew looked for Robbins. As passengers looked at Robbins in disbelief and panic, they threw him a buoy to help him stay afloat. Sims told the Post that after leaving the hot tub, they encountered the passenger's father while approaching the elevators.

But what has happened since the video has turned Robbins’ last moments from a distressing mishap to a perfect example of how social media turns tragedies into entertainment — all in the search for something deeper. Since May 25, TikToks using the hashtag #CameronRobbins have been viewed over 132 million times. Some suggest that rather than drowning, Robbins was attacked by sharks, offering evidence in the form of slowed-down and poorly enhanced clips. The fact that they’re blurry, and do not definitively show even the outline of a shark, hasn’t kept the videos from going viral. Several accounts have also claimed to use audio isolation to prove an unintelligible shout in the video is warning the teen about a fin in the water. Robbins is featured on crime accounts and news TikToks, and there’s even a growing trend that puts sad songs behind videos imagining Robbins’ last moments.

It started when high school graduate Cameron Robbins, 18, was apparently dared to jump off a cruise ship in the middle of the pitch-black night. He was accompanied by several high schoolers, all of them graduating Louisiana's University Lab School just three days before Robbins' grisly fate. Whatever happened to Cameron, the former University Laboratory School student has not been seen since his fellow passengers on the cruise ship saw him disappear from view shortly after going overboard. 18-year-old Cameron Robbins of Louisiana was celebrating his high school graduation on board the cruise ship in the Bahamas when he was filmed going overboard on 24 May. The U.S. Coast Guard has ended their search for a Louisiana teenager who fell overboard from a sunset cruise in the Bahamas on Wednesday night.

But damn, this video of a cruise ship losing a passenger in the middle of nowhere, dead of night, and in shark-infested waters is straight-up terrifying. A viral video of a teenager who has gone missing appearing to jump overboard from a cruise ship may contain the last words he heard. One person can be heard shouting 'bye bye' to the 18-year-old as he's in the water, as several people on board the cruise ship attempt to get his attention as he swims. The small, pirate-lookalike cruise ship was anchored throughout the night, and the students were stuck at sea near the uninhabited island in what Royal Bahamas Defense Force Commodore Raymond King called "shark-infested waters." 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.

A chaotic video taken moments after the jump also shows the recent graduate ignoring onlookers’ pleas to grab a buoy. Last month, a 23-year-old man who felt seasick fell overboard from the MSC Euribia cruise ship while crossing the North Sea in Europe and was presumed dead. A Royal Caribbean spokesperson told Business Insider that the cruise line's "Care Team is providing support and assistance to the guest's family during this difficult time." The boat, designed to resemble a pirate ship, remained in the area for several hours as crew members tried to find the teen. Cameron Robbins, who graduated from University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge this past Sunday, was on a trip to the Bahamas with students from several local high schools, staying at Atlantis Paradise Island resort in Nassau, reported the station WAFB.

The Liberty of the Seas departed from South Florida and was 57 miles from Great Inagua in The Bahamas when the passenger went overboard. Royal Caribbean confirmed that a passenger, whose identity has not been revealed, went overboard near The Bahamas at about 4 a.m. “He’s an athlete, great kid, great smile, great head of hair,” George told the station WBRZ. Several others could be heard shouting to him that he's swimming away from a buoy which would have helped keep him afloat in the sea. He was last seen paddling around in the water before disappearing from view, with the boat staying in place for several hours in an attempt to find Robbins.

"Your vision, judgment, everything is impaired and I can tell you that area, for the individual who reportedly jumped over, it is an area that is really shark-infested as well. While not confirmed by the United States Coast Guard press release, Royal Bahamas Defence Force Commodore Raymond King spoke to the media during the days of the search about the possibility of a shark attack. People on the cruise ship begin to shout and call for the man to go to the lifesaver, only for someone to remark that the man is no longer visible. “We offer our sincerest condolences to Cameron Robbins’ family and friends,” said Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Spado, Coast Guard liaison officer to the Bahamas.

The US Coast Guard and local Bahaman authorities spent days looking for Robbins before calling off their search last week after scouring more than 325 square miles of ocean. Footage has surfaced showing 18-year-old Cameron Robbins -- who'd just graduated high school in Baton Rouge -- swimming in the open seas at night near Athol Island last week ... Where he was on a sunset cruise with a bunch of his peers celebrating their achievement. Now, most people aboard a cruise ship likely assume that the boat is moving at a snail's pace, within the vastness of the ocean... "The ship's crew immediately launched a search and rescue effort alongside the US Coast Guard, who has taken over the search," the Royal Caribbean spokesperson said.
