UK Gov

MAIB statement on preliminary assessment closure.

The MAIB has undertaken a preliminary assessment into the death of a crew member from Border Force cutter Vigilant in November 2024. Following the results of the preliminary assessment and after a full coronial investigation, including a detailed postmortem and a determination by HM Coroner of death by natural causes, the Chief Inspector of Marine Accidents is satisfied that the crew member's death resulted from a medical event and not a marine accident. The preliminary assessment has therefore been closed, and the MAIB will not investigate further.
