What was supposed to be a week-long getaway across the Pacific Ocean turned tragic for hundreds of passengers aboard Carnival Panorama on Saturday, September 19, when a fellow guest went overboard.
The man has now been identified as 56-year-old Thomas Gigler, who was sailing with his wife, Michelle, 48, and their three sons as they prepared to celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary this week.
Thomas had no history of mental health issues, according to his sister, who suggested that an immediate crisis may have driven his actions.
