Silver-Dawn

A medical emergency aboard the 'Silver Dawn', which was docked at Hong Kong’s Ocean Terminal has left a 66-year-old American tourist dead. The incident occurred late on Jan 4, 2025, when the man collapsed in his cabin aboard the ship, prompting an immediate response from the crew. Paramedics arrived shortly after the emergency call at 11:59 p.m. and transported the passenger to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police boarded the ship following the incident to conduct an investigation. Authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of death, pending the results of an autopsy, though he reportedly had a history of heart disease. The vessel had docked at Tsim Sha Tsui’s Ocean Terminal at 8 a.m. and was scheduled to depart for its next destination at 2 p.m. on Jan 5. The ship was on a 22-day cruise that began in Singapore on Dec 22, 2024. The itinerary includes multiple stops across Asia, with the voyage expected to conclude in Tokyo on Jan 13.
