A father-of-four drowned after leaping from a luxury Caribbean cruise ship on Boxing Day as his family desperately tried to help.

Financial advisor Dan McGilvray, 51, from Broomfield, Colorado, managed to overpower members of his own family - including his 75-year-old mother Gerda McGilvray - before jumping from Norwegian Epic. Police in the Bahamas believe he could have suffered a reaction to medication he was taking for seizures. According to MailOnline, sources say McGilvray woke up at around 3pm on December 26 screaming: "I can't take it anymore."
