New Zealand authorities start probe into cruise ship death
cruise ship
Wellington - Arab Today
New Zealand's investigators on Friday began a probe into how a Filipino crew member died while a Bermuda-registered cruise ship was docked in the South Island city of Dunedin.
Police were called to the port late Thursday after reports that a gas cylinder had exploded on the Emerald Princess cruise ship, killing the unnamed Filipino man.
Two Transport Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC) investigators arrived at the ship in Port Chalmers early Friday, said a TAIC statement.
"The Bermuda authorities where the ship is registered have been informed that an investigation by the commission is underway," it said.
"At this stage, it's not known how long the investigators will be on board or whether the ship will move from its current berth."
Police inspector Jason Guthrie said Thursday that the matter had been referred to the local coroner.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
