A cruise ship pianist fell overboard and was stranded in the Pacific Ocean for about nine hours.
The 37-year-old man, who traveled to Mexico, allegedly reached the water during the night. Therefore, the ship did not notice the disappearance.
The musician was saved from death by fishermen returning from marlin fishing. They pulled him from the water about 15 to 20 miles off the coast of California, near Santa Catalina Island.
The rescuer was transferred to the Coast Guard and then taken to the hospital in stable condition. According to the fishermen, warm water - about 24 degrees - helped him survive. The US Coast Guard is investigating the circumstances of the incident.
