KEY POINTS:
Police in Noumea are to investigate the death of a 31-year-old Sydney man early yesterday on board P&O's Pacific Sun.
P&O spokeswoman Sandy Olsen said the man, cruising the Pacific with a large family group, was found in a public area. She rejected reports that he had been in a fight.
Pacific Sun had been scheduled to call at Ouvea in the Loyalty Islands, but had altered course for Noumea so the authorities could board the liner.
