Queen Mary in the news
Saturday 13th
A member of staff on board the Queen Mary 2 cruise ship has died after an alleged attack by a colleague.
Cunard, the vessel's owner, said the Filipino man, aged 40, was assaulted by a Filipino crew member, 49, on Friday.
He was airlifted off the ship to a Netherlands hospital with serious head injuries but died on the way.
The QM2 is registered in Southampton, which gives UK police jurisdiction. Four officers have boarded the ship in Bergen, Norway, where it has docked.
Hampshire Police said the alleged assailant had been confined to his cabin on board the vessel after the incident. The men had allegedly become embroiled in a fight below deck at around 1500 BST.
