A 62-year-old woman from Virginia died on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, according to an FBI spokesman. According to Royal Caribbean, the woman's husband discovered her lifeless body inside her cabin on the Enchantment of the Seas cruise ship on Sunday, the Associated Press reports.

An autopsy is being done to determine why and how the woman died. FBI agents are also interviewing the woman's husband to see if he is connected with the death. The FBI would not say if the unidentified woman suffered any trauma.

However some deaths are caused by accidents and were not ruled as suspicious like this one.

In January 2012, a 26-year-old U.S. tourist died on a Carnival ship in an accident. The South Carolina man jumped from one floor to another aboard the Carnival Fantasy ship that had docked in Nassau. He was declared dead at the scene.

In February 2013, five crew members died and three others were injured in Spain's Canary Islands during a cruise ship drill. The men died when a lifeboat fell from the Thomson Majesty during the drill in a freak accident.
