A man died on the Gozo Channel 8.15am vessel on the way from Mgarr in Gozo to Cirkewwa this morning.
An ambulance boarded the vessel as soon as it arrived at Cirkewwa but efforts to resuscitate the man, who is believed to have suffered a heart attack, proved futile.
The 9am trip from Cirkewwa to Gozo was delayed as a result.
