The ship in question is in Montreal but nobody has been arrested yet.

I would think the list of suspects would be quite small!

Here is a follow up story from THE MONITOR :

The ship is back to work and is heading downhound on the St Lawrence River today. As of today nobody was charged for the murder.

Thanks for the update.  I suspect there is a lot of info that is not being released.  Obviously the authorities know the cause of death.  Since there are a small number of crew members I would think the Mounties would have suspect(s).  I also would think that for a start they would make the crew take a lie detector test even though it is not always reliable. I am not a Mountie - but I wanted to be one when I was a kid - but it would seem to me with a fairly small number of people on the ship they could find out who has alibies and, again, come up with a list of suspects. I am not sure I would want to be on that ship on its next trip if a murderer is loose.

Not to be flip about someone's death but this almost reads like a good shipboard murder mystery.  Thanks again Steve for the update.
