[edit] Ramesh Krishnamurthy

During the May 20, 2006 cruise, Ramesh Krishnamurthy, age 35, from Plumstead, Pennsylvania, was presumed dead after jumping off the Legend at 1am on Saturday, May 27, 2006. He was reported jumping out of his balcony room, 6227, after an argument with his wife in front of his children, 450 miles northeast of Florida. Foul play is not suspected, and he was believed to have been under the influence. The ship remained in the vicinity for eleven hours, delaying the Legend's arrival back to New York City the following day until 8pm. Coast Guard officials were sent out to aid in the search, but he was never found.
