The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is trying to determine what killed a 26-year-old woman aboard a Carnival cruise ship.

Angela McDonald of Palm Bay stopped breathing after sitting down to eat dinner with her family Saturday.

McDonald suffered from scleroderma, a disease that causes the body's immune system to attack its own tissues.

The Hillsborough County medical examiner will perform an autopsy to see if McDonald's disease contributed to her death.

The ship, Inspiration, docked in Tampa Sunday morning.
