Boat with 20 dead drives ashore

Authorities in the Caribbean and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean have launched an investigation, after a boat with 20 dead people, including two children, drifted ashore on the archipelago. It writes The Guardian.

According to the newspaper, there is no indication that anything criminal has taken place, and investigators are now trying to get to the bottom of what may have happened.

The drifting boat was discovered by fishermen on Thursday.

Police Inspector Trevor Botting says that the boat probably belongs outside the Caribbean, and that it probably had a different destination than the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Police are now trying to identify the dead.

– This work will take time to complete. Whatever the case, this is a tragic situation where many people have lost their lives, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the families who have lost loved ones. We will do everything we can to identify them and contact their families, Botting said in a statement.

According to The Guardian, the archipelago often attracts people from Haiti, who are fleeing political challenges and a growing gang crime in their home country.
