The search for an Indian chef of the luxury cruise ship QE2 has been called off, according to the UK’s Sky News.
The alarm was raised after the 27-year-old chef did not report for duty at 8am as expected, and was presumed to have fallen overboard.
A search was launched by the UK’s coastguard, who covered an area of 200 miles off the coast of Ireland in a bid to find the missing chef.
But after a day of fruitless searching, the rescue mission was called off.
A coastguard spokesperson was quoted as saying, ""The search was finished at around 5pm today. Nothing has been found."
The chef, who has not been named, was reportedly a non-smoker and a "very quiet" individual.
