A cruise ship pianist was found treading water around 20 miles (32km) off the Californian coast after falling overboard, according to US media reports.

Two fishermen discovered the Royal Caribbean employee near Catalina Island on Friday and officials believe he may have been in the Pacific Ocean for nine hours, according to CBS News, the BBC's US news partner.
