The FBI is investigating the suspicious death of a woman on a cruise ship which was traveling from Charleston to the Bahamas.

Carnival Sunshine departed from South Carolina on February 27, and later that day crew members and medical staff were alerted to an unresponsive woman on board the boat, according to the FBI.

After unsuccessful attempts to resuscitate the woman she was pronounced dead on the ship. The cruise arrived at Nassau in the Bahamas three days later on March 1, where her body was brought in for an autopsy.

Once the ship returned to Charleston on March 4 members of the FBI 'Evidence Response Team' boarded the boat and investigated the woman's room.

• The FBI boarded a cruise ship on its return from the Bahamas on Saturday to investigate the death of a woman onboard. Carnival Sunshine has been homeported in South Carolina since 2019 and makes regular 4 and 5-day trips to the Bahamas

It is currently unclear how the woman died but the FBI told DailyMail.com in statement that 'the FBI investigates certain crimes on the high seas, as well as suspicious deaths of U.S. persons.'

It added that the 'incident was isolated and there was no threat to any other passengers before or after the passenger was found deceased.'

A spokesperson for the department's Columbia field office declined to comment further on the incident.

Carnival, the company that operates the ship, said in a statement that it was cooperating with local authorities and that the woman who died was aboard the boat with her husband.

'The FBI joined Carnival Sunshine upon its return to Charleston yesterday morning to conduct an investigation into the death of a guest,' it read.

'Both the deceased and her husband were debarked in Nassau and Bahamian authorities have already investigated the circumstances and are conducting an autopsy,' it added.

• The Carnival Sunshine departed Charleston on February 27, according to Cruise Mapper, the same day the woman was found unresponsive and pronounced dead

'We are fully cooperating. This is a matter for authorities in The Bahamas and Charleston and we have no further comments,' said a Carnival spokesperson.

Carnival Sunshine has been homeported in South Carolina since May 2019, but debuted in 1996 as Carnival Destiny before being refitted and renamed in 2013.

The ship caused controversy in Venice in 2013 when it passed within 20 meters of the city's historic banks while performing 'a salute' to a major company shareholder.

Carnival also owned the Costa Concordia, which famously sank after hitting rocks off the coast of Turkey after performing a similar salute to the island of Giglio in 2012.

Deaths happen during cruises quite often.

There is a mortuary in every cruise ship, usually it's located near the employees' cabins and/or doctor's clinic.
