It's being reported by a Radiance passerger on the DS that it happened on the 2nd day of sailing and that the man was a crew member and jumped for the 12th deck into the water. Crew and passengers saw this happen and threw life rings into the water. The ship slowed quicking and within 18 minutes had a life raft in the water and the person aboard. Unfortunately,, this person died of his injuries.

What a shame!
It happened on the 2nd to the last day, we were onboard.
Witnesses said that he took off his name badge and cell phone, set them on the deck and jumped.
Although it was never officially mentioned, speculation was that it was a member of the Art Auction staff. The final art auction was canceled.

I'm sorry for the mis-communication. I thought that's what I said.
"within 18 minutes had a life raft in the water and the person aboard."
