A British tourist has been found dead inside her cabin aboard a cruise ship docked in Greece. The 62-year-old woman was discovered by crew members after staff entered her cabin while the unnamed ship was moored in Santorini on Sunday. Emergency responders transferred her to the nearby port before she was rushed to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Greek authorities have opened an investigation and ordered an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Police said they do not suspect foul play and believe the sudden death appears to have been health-related, though the exact cause has not yet been established. The cruise ship later resumed its itinerary through the Aegean Sea. The incident follows the death of a 79-year-old British man aboard another cruise ship sailing near Crete last week. He was found unresponsive on deck, given first aid by crew members, and later died after being taken to a hospital. Earlier this month, a 67-year-old British passenger also died aboard a cruise ship traveling through Corfu.
