Official Investigates Cruise Ship Death

A medical examiner was investigating Wednesday the death of 76-year-old man during a virus outbreak that sickened 679 people on a trans-Atlantic cruise.

Dr. Joshua Perper, Broward County’s chief medical examiner, said an autopsy was performed on David Lee Fitzgerald of Tarpon Springs on Monday, but it will take several months to complete lab tests and determine an official cause of death.
