A 76-year-old tourist from the UK died aboard a cruise boat in Assam on Friday, police said.
Alastair Neil Macdonald was found dead on the 'Charaideo' when it was returning from a week-long tour of areas in Upper Assam. It is owned by the Assam-Bengal Navigation Company, they said.
Macdonald was a part of a 60-member British tourist group visiting the northeastern state.
The travel agency which had organised the tour handed over his body to the police and it was sent for postmortem at the Jorhat Medical College and Hospital
