A 73-year-old female passenger from New York died on the Carnival Legend cruise ship on Monday.

Police said yesterday medical staff were alerted by the woman's daughter after she was found in her ship cabin in a non-responsive state. They tried to revive the passenger, but without success. The body was taken to New York.

The ship, which arrived in Dockyard on Saturday morning, left the Island on Monday. The Carnival Legend is an infrequent visitor to Bermuda.
