QE2 under guard in Egypt

London - A crew member aboard the luxury cruise liner Queen Mary 2 has died after an alleged fight in the crew quarters, said a Cunard Line spokesperson on Saturday.

Cruise line spokesperson Eric Flounders said the man was airlifted off the ship on Friday, and taken to a hospital in the Netherlands, where he later died.

A second member of the ship's staff was detained on board.

He said British police were flying to Bergen, Norway, where the ship is now docked.

They are to handle the investigation, Flounders said, because the Queen Mary 2 is registered in Britain.

The luxury liner is on a voyage around the Norwegian fjords and is due back in Southampton on Wednesday. The ship can carry 3 000 people and weighs 151 400 tons.
