Claim 1: “A Carnival cruise passenger who went overboard has been identified as a 56-year-old father of three”

One web search result specifically identifies a 56-year-old father of three as the passenger who went overboard. Other search results discuss different passengers (a 35-year-old man and a woman), meaning the specific claim is only supported by one source.
