The FBI has begun an investigation into the cause of death of an 88-year-old Canadian passenger of Holland America’s MS Veendam cruise ship, according to ABC 10 News.

The young driver then lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a light pole. The pole collided with the car just behind the seats and bisected the vehicle.
