Body bag removed from the Bibby Stockholm as asylum seeker dies

An asylum seeker on board the Bibby Stockholm barge has died.

Police said officers received reports of a “sudden death” of someone living on the giant vessel, in Portland, Dorset, early on Tuesday morning.

The first asylum seekers were brought back to the barge in October, some two months after it was evacuated following the discovery of Legionella – the bacteria which can cause the potentially fatal Legionnaires’ disease – in the water supply.

A Dorset Police spokesman said: “At 6.22am on Tuesday 12 December 2023, Dorset Police received a report of a sudden death of a resident on the Bibby Stockholm.

“Officers are conducting inquiries into the circumstances of the incident.

“The coroner’s office has been notified of the death.”

Further details of the incident are yet to be confirmed.
