A Royal Caribbean Cruises spokesperson confirmed that Taylor died while aboard the Harmony of the Seas.

Storm Chasers star Joel Taylor died at 38 years old on January 23 from an apparent drug overdose, law enforcement officials told TMZ.

The FBI has since opened an investigation into Taylor's death, how the drugs got on board the ship, and who may have supplied the drugs. "As is our standard procedure, law enforcement was notified and responded to the ship when it arrived in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Tuesday, January 23. A member of our Care Team is providing support and assistance to his family".

The U.S. Coast Guard also received a call over the death and will be investigating the death purely from a "marine safety standpoint".

"Storm Chaser" star Joel Taylor had been doing GHB late Monday night going into Tuesday morning, dancing during a wild party, when he lapsed into unconsciousness.
