While three web search results mention the FBI investigating deaths on Carnival ships, the specific claim that the FBI confirmed to NBC News they are investigating *this specific* passenger death is not corroborated by multiple independent sources. The evidence shows the FBI has investigated other unrelated deaths on Carnival ships, but not this specific incident.
