A 23-year-old passenger is presumed dead after falling from the MSC Euribia cruise ship, according to multiple reports .

Liam Jones, a social work student from Scotland, was last seen on March 16 while on a seven-day tour cruise from Southampton to Amsterdam with his family, the Daily Record reports .

Jones wife, Sophia Mcphee, 20, told the outlet that Jones texted her right before his disappearance to tell her he was feeling seasick.

Hes just gone. Im never going to see him again, Mcphee told the Daily Record. Im devastated. I have so many questions, and Im not getting any answers to whats happened.

Mcphee told U.K.s Metro that Jones sister broke the news to her on the phone and explained that security camera footage showed Jones falling overboard.

She said there had been an accident and Liam wasnt coming back. She then said she had seen CCTV and hed gone overboard, Mcphee recalled.

But Mcphee said she hasnt been updated on the investigation since hearing about his disappearance. She told the Daily Record that the last time she had seen Jones was on March 14 when he traveled to visit family in Glasgow before they boarded the cruise the following day.

Ive been trying to get in contact with the MSC since Monday, but its been a headache, Mcphee told the Daily Record. Theyre not getting back to me.

MSC Cruises didnt immediately respond to HuffPosts requests for comment.

Police reportedly boarded the cruise ship on March 22 to investigate the incident upon its return to Southampton, Metro reports.

The cruise line suspects the man intentionally went overboard, Fox10 News reports .

In a statement to the Daily Record, MSC Cruises said it is deeply saddened by the news of Jones disappearance.

A passenger on board MSC Euribia was reported missing, who we believe intentionally went overboard, on 17 March as the ship sailed from Hamburg to Rotterdam, the cruise line said.

The authorities have been informed and have been on board the vessel. We are deeply saddened by this news and our thoughts are with the family at this very difficult time, the statement continued. Out of respect for the familys privacy we will refrain from disclosing any additional information.
