All very strange unless they have to await the PM reports

[
Three workers who died on board a German cargo ship berthed at Goole docks have been named by police.
Gerd Jescheniak, 60, from Germany, Perrer Punongayan, 33, and Jonathan Sanosa, 38, both from the Philippines, died in hospital on Monday morning.
Humberside Police said the men "became ill" while aboard the Suntis, which was berthed at West Dock on Bridge Street.
The men are not believed to have suffered physical injuries but the exact cause of death is not yet known.
Humberside Police is working with the Maritime Agency on the investigation.
A force spokesman said: "The three men, along with two others, were on board the vessel which was transporting timber.
"No arrests have been made in connection with the incident."
A date for post-mortem examinations has yet to be set.]

Explanation here, perhaps:

I used to see this little ship regularly when she was the last commercial vessel to use Ipswich wet dock; I am sure others who use the Ispwich marinas will know here tioo always very smart. A dedicated timber carrier.

I have spent forty years in the merchant shipping industry and never knew that timber can evolve carbon monoxide.
