The US Coast Guard and various agencies searched the ocean waters for days looking for the missing youth. On Friday night, the US Coast Guard officially called off the search, authorities said. Witnesses claimed that he was acting in defiance when he jumped overboard at 11:30 p.m. from the Blackbeard’s Revenge sunset cruise, according to the WAFB.

The ship was near Athol Island, an uninhabited island located northeast of Nassau when Robbins jumped into the sea. Robbins had graduated from University High in Baton Rouge just days before and was seen wearing his gown and smiling big in an Instagram photo taken days before he went missing.

The star athlete was celebrating his recent high school graduation with dozens of other seniors from other Baton Rogue high schools, including U-High, Episcopal, Catholic and St. Joseph’s Academy, a parent told the news outlet.

The students had arrived on the island just hours before the pirate-themed sunset boat tour and had been staying at Atlantis Paradise Island in Nassau, the father said.
