Captain of virus-hit ship initially indicates ‘natural causes’ in death

A video from April 12, taken by a passenger on board the MV Hondius, the hantavirus-hit cruise ship, shows the ship’s captain announcing the death of someone on board the previous day. Captain Jan Dobrogowski says the death is believed to be due to “natural causes.” Oceanwide Expeditions, the ship’s operator, said in a statement, “At the time of the announcement, the cause of death of this individual was unknown.” At the time of publication, the cause still wasn’t confirmed to be hantavirus.
