A spokesperson for Carnival Cruise Line told News 2 the FBI joined Carnival Sunshine when it returned to port in Charleston on Saturday to conduct its investigation. In 2022, the State Ports Authority announced it would not extend its contract with Carnival after the current pact expires at the end of 2024. The SPA's decision came after years of unsuccessful attempts to build a new cruise ship terminal at Union Pier in the face of opposition from environmentalists and historic preservation groups. The Sunshine is the third Carnival ship to call Charleston its home port since the cruise line started offering year-round voyages from the Union Pier Terminal in downtown Charleston in 2010. But a report published in November 2020 in the International Journal of Travel Medicine and Global Health put the number of deaths at 623 deaths between 2000 and 2019. "We are fully cooperating," Matt Lupolis, senior manager of public relations for Carnival Cruise Line said March 6.

FBI officials previously said the death posed "no threat to any other passengers" and that the incident was isolated. The FBI is investigating the "suspicious death" of a woman who was on a five -day cruise from South Carolina to the Bahamas, the agency announced.

Two search warrants were filed on Wednesday, one to search the cabin where a woman was found unresponsive on the Carnival Cruise Sunshine and the other to search of a Volkswagen Jetta with North Carolina plates, also on the basis of evidence of a crime. The local police in Charleston, South Carolina has absolutely no jurisdiction to either investigate or prosecute crime on cruise ships.

Agents with the Evidence Response Team boarded the vessel when it made port in the United States on March 4 to process the woman's room, according to the local FBI Columbia field office.

The incident was isolated and posed no threats to other passengers, according to the FBI. The FBI said the death remains under investigation and no other details could be provided at this time. The passenger's "suspicious death" occurred during a voyage to Nassau on Feb. 27. In a statement on Tuesday, the cruise line said "all indications" suggest the woman died of a medical condition while on board Carnival Sunshine in The Bahamas, according to NBC and CBS News.
