An asylum seeker on board the Bibby Stockholm barge has died, the PA news agency understands.
The first asylum seekers were brought back to the giant vessel, moored in Portland, Dorset, in October, some two months after it was evacuated following the discovery of Legionella bacteria in the water supply.
Further details of the incident are yet to be confirmed.
