Eerie final video shows Levion Parker frolicking in the ocean water with ... trends now
Eerie video shows Levion Parker frolicking in the ocean during a Spring Break trip with his friend, just days before leaping from the 11th story of a Royal Caribbean cruise during an argument with his father.
Video uploaded to TikTok on March 27 by Parker's close friend, Kaleb Felty, shows the 20-year-old splashing around in waters off the Florida coast.
In one clip, Parker holds up a large silver fish for the camera, followed by a shot of him paddling out into the crystal-clear waters.
'Seems like his life ended where he loved to be,' one TikTok user remarked.
Around a week after the trip, Parker plummeted from the cruise ship during a drunken argument with his father. The search for the 20-year-old has been called off and no remains have been recovered.

The footage was posted to TikTok on March 27 by Parker's friend, Kaleb Felty (right). The pair won first place at a fishing competition in Punta Gorda days earlier
Days before the TikTok was uploaded, Parker and Felty participated in a fishing competition in Punta Gorda, where they won first place. A photo taken after their big win shows Parker clutching a handful of prize money.
Among their sponsors for the competition was Cooling Dynamics, a refrigeration company owned by Parker's father, Francel.
Social media posts show the boys regularly embarked on spring break fishing trips and frequently went hunting together, clad in matching camo fatigues.
'I will see you again one way or another,' Felty wrote under one post.
Around a week after the spring break trip, Parker jumped from the 11th floor of a Royal Caribbean ship, plummeting nearly 200 feet into the Atlantic.
He and his family were on board the Liberty of the Seas as guests of Florida-based air conditioning wholesalers Tropic Supply. The company had invited dozens of contractors along for the four-day cruise marking its 50th anniversary.
The ship was just hours away from returning to Fort Lauderdale when Francel caught up with Parker and his younger brother, 18-year-old Seth, on April 4.
The pair were emerging from a hot tub at around 3:30 a.m. when Parker and his father began to argue, with Francel reportedly angry that his son seemed drunk.
