A Norwegian Cruise Line ship docked in Boston’s Black Falcon Terminal laden with two dead bodies on Friday after returning from Bermuda.

Among the dead on the Norwegian Dawn was a 23-year-old man who died on the ship on Thursday, and a 67-year-old woman who, according to NCL, passed after succumbing to a chronic health ailment.  Both passengers died in the ship’s medical center, and the names of the deceased have not been released.

Massachusetts State Police detectives were investigating the deaths and seen searching for clues in the cabin of the 23-year-old man. 

The deaths are not believed to be related, or rooted in foul play, according to authorities as they have not uncovered any evidence of criminal activity. 

The Suffolk district attorney’s office said that in the absence of criminal charges, no further details regarding the incident will be released. 

The Norwegian Dawn left its berth at the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal on October 21st for a seven-day voyage to Bermuda.
