A passenger on Mad Decent Boat Party, a five-day EDM concert cruise, has reportedly jumped overboard and has yet to be found. According to Your EDM, the boat returned to the last known place the woman was seen and a search and rescue committee has been deployed around the Gulf Coast since roughly 6:30 PM EST tonight.

Today was the first full day of the five-day event, which sails from Miami to Cozumel with DJ sets from A-Trak, Diplo, Jack U, Borgore, Dillon Francis and more. Concerts have been temporarily suspended and passengers have been asked to return to their rooms as the search continues into the night. This is undoubtedly a terrifying situation.

As of around 7:45 PM tonight, the woman has yet to be found. We’re keeping our fingers crossed and praying that this young woman gets returned safely!
