The passenger airlifted from the Ben-my-Chree yesterday has died.
The man was from the Island and is believed to have been a former travelling marshal.
He was on his way from Douglas to Heysham when he suffered what’s thought to have been a heart attack.
A rescue helicopter was called by the vessel’s master shortly before 11am and the man was tended to by a doctor and two nurses on board the ship.
The helicopter was scrambled from RAF Valley in Anglesey, and took the man to hospital in Barrow-in-Furness.
