On May 29, a haunting video emerged showing the chaos aboard a boat in the Bahamas after Cameron Robbins, 18, jumped off and into the sea on May 24.

Robbins - who hails from Louisiana and is a star high school baseball player - jumped into the water without a life jacket on, dressed only in swim trunks.

Following the dare-gone-wrong, Robbins went missing, resulting in the launch of multiple search and rescue missions by multiple agencies, including the US Coast Guard.

A GoFundMe was set up to support his family.  

Who is Cameron Robbins?

Robbins had just graduated from the University Laboratory School in Baton Rogue where he was recognized as a star athlete by his friends and teachers. 

His baseball coach paid tribute to the teenager and called him a 'fierce competitor.'

Justin Morgan said: 'Cameron is a kid who is truly loved by his teammates, teachers, and fellow classmates.

'He is a fierce competitor on the baseball field. He is a hard worker both on and off of the playing field.

'Our school community is struggling right now but hoping for the very best.

'Our thoughts and prayers have been and will remain with the Robbins family during this difficult time.'

University Lab School Director Kevin George said Cameron attended the school for all thirteen years of his education.

 What was Cameron Robbins doing on the boat?

The star athlete was celebrating his recent graduation from high school 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 only arrived on the island hours before the pirate-themed sunset boat excursion and had been staying at the Atlantis Paradise Island in Nassau, the parent said.

He was seen wearing his robe and smiling in an Instagram photo taken days before his disappearance.

The ship was near Athol Island, an uninhabited island located northeast of Nassau, when Robbins leaped into the sea.
