The police are preparing a file for the coroner and the MCA will investigate how the three men – a German and two Filipinos – died after being taken ill aboard the Suntis at West Dock, Goole earlier this week.
The swift conclusion of the police investigation suggests an obvious reason for the deaths and though the cause is still unclear, the Hull Daily Mail has reported that police had looked into whether carbon monoxide poisoning was a possibility.
The German-owned Suntis had arrived at Goole last weekend with a load of timber. It had started its journey at Brunsbüttel, Germany before calling at Gdynia in Poland, Riga and Frederikshavn, Denmark, before travelling to Goole.
