Yeah. That's got to be a really crap job. Sitting in a tiny cabin, probably breathing a mixture of diesel fumes and salt air, for months on end. Of course they took drugs. It's basically sitting in prison for a living.

I would imagine they were allowed out of their cabin.

If they asked nicely, I bet they could even go on deck.

Smart ass.
Heroin it is.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Police on the island nation of Seychelles say that two former U.S. Navy SEALs found dead aboard the ship Maersk Alabama died of respiratory failure and were suspected to have had heart attacks, possibly from drug use.

The police said Monday that a syringe and traces of heroin were found in their cabin. Police said samples are being sent to Mauritius for analysis to establish if the men had consumed “a substance” that could have caused the health failures.
