Baby drowns in migrant-boat disaster off Lampedusa

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 13 - A five-month-old baby boy has drowned after he ended up in the water in a migrant-boat tragedy off the Italian island of Lampedusa early on Wednesday.
    According to an initial reconstruction, the fatal accident took place when the people aboard the boat he was on all moved to one side, causing several to fall into the water, as a Coast Guard vessel approached to rescue it.
    The other people who fell in the water were saved.
    The mother, a minor from Guinea who was traveling with other family members, was being given psychological support at Lampedusa's migrant hotspot.
    The baby's body has been taken to the mortuary at the island's Cala Pisana cemetery.
    It had initially been reported that the baby died in a chaotic landing operation in Lampedusa's port. (ANSA).
