A Tunisian man drowned
Wednesday after throwing himself off a COVID quarantine ship at
Porto Empedocle in Sicily.
The 28-year-old migrant, who has not been named, jumped from
the Moby Zaza ship, and was thought to be trying to escape since
he had a lifebelt on, police said.
Seas in the area were force four with waves above two metres
in height.
He jumped from deck six of the ship, from a height of around
15 metres.
Prosecutors have opened a probe into the death.
An autopsy has been ordered.
