Qld: Cruise ship death unlikely to be TB

Queensland health says it's unlikely a man died of tuberculosis on the Sun Princess cruise ship.

Initial forensic testing on the passenger in his 60s has so far not revealed any evidence
of TB .. and it's believed there may have been another reason why he died.

The director of the Queensland Tuberculosis Control Centre .. TOM KONSTANTINOS .. says
there's no need to contact other people on the cruise ship.
