Certainty: 2 Death of Andronikos on the boat taking Alexios' body home: Isaakios took over
After the death of the co-emperor Alexios, Ioannes II sent his brother Andronikos to conduct his body by ship back to the capital. But after they had sailed, he too died, as if unwilling to be separated from his dead brother - and so a corpse was conducting a corpse.

He delivered the two bodies in the capital
