Woman dies in cruise ship pool

A passenger on a cruise from Shanghai was found dead in the ship's pool, the operator said yesterday. Princess Cruises confirmed the death of the 29-year-old woman onboard the Sapphire Princess liner.

It is thought that she drowned.

The cruise left Shanghai for South Korea's Chejudo Island last Wednesday. The woman was found dead in the swimming pool the next day.

The 116,000-ton Sapphire Princess, which can carry 3,770 passengers and crew, returned to Shanghai yesterday.

The case is under investigation.
