The incident occurred late on Jan 4, 2025, when the man collapsed in his cabin aboard the ship, prompting an immediate response from the crew. Paramedics arrived shortly after the emergency call at 11:59 p.m. and transported the passenger to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police boarded the ship following the incident to conduct an investigation. Authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of death, pending the results of an autopsy, though he reportedly had a history of heart disease.
