Koningsdam Crew Member missing near Juneau after going overboard

[AKJonesy]

The Coast Guard has suspended the search. 

A statement from Holland America Line Tuesday said the man was a crew member on the Koningsdam, and reported missing shortly after the ship had left Juneau. The Coast Guard received assistance from the Eurodam cruise ship and began a search of the area.

The Koningsdam was just leaving downtown Juneau, and the Eurodam was anchored close by. The Eurodam said they heard shouting coming from the water, according to the Coast Guard. The Koningsdam crew confirmed a crew member was missing.

Never good to hear about a man overboard. Hoping it turns out well.

I thought it was the Eurodam ship that had the loss of a crew member.

OP, thank you for the link that you provided.  Difficult to understand why such a thing happens.  The person involved and his/her God are the only ones who know.  May the person rest in peace.  May the person's family be strong enough to best deal with their loss.

Heard this on a daily cruise vlog today; sad. RIP

Have they released a name yet? I sincerely hope it's nobody I met less than 5 weeks ago.  😢

Lorenzo Anthony Holmes - he was in the B.B. King's All-Star Band.

This is such a shame. Very sad news.

Even with a quick response  from the Eurodam, Kdam, Juneau fire and police, Coast Guard.....

he was lost.  So sad.

My condolences to his family, friends and crew mates.

Why in the world would he have done so?  Depression?  May he rest in peace with condolences to his family as well as the others in the Koningsdam BB King Band.  I can't imagine how they would be able to perform after this.
