Original story (11/13, 9:30AM): Mad Decent, the Diplo-founded label that's presented artists like Riff Raff, Baauer, Dillon Francis, DJ Snake and Diplo's own Major Lazer and Jack Ü, launched a cruise/music festival on Wednesday. On Thursday night, the Miami-to-Cozumel Mad Decent Boat Party lost a passenger.
The label issued a statement (via Stereogum) on Friday:
"Thursday, November 12 during the chartered cruise on Norwegian Pearl, a female guest was observed intentionally going overboard while the ship was sailing the Yucatan Channel. The ship’s crew immediately initiated rescue measures, including deploying three rescue boats and notifying the Coast Guard and other relevant authorities. The search for the guest is ongoing.
