Eight migrants found dead on boat including pregnant woman

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 3 - An Italian coastguard vessel found eight bodies including that of a pregnant woman aboard a migrant boat in Maltese search and rescue (SAR) waters Friday.
    The coastguard boat unloaded the bodies at Lampedusa, the stepping stone island for migrants between Italy and north Africa.
    The big migrant boat had dozens of other North Africans on board.
    Two other people are reportedly missing from the migrant boat while a woman threw her dead four-month-old son into the sea out of cold and desperation.
    Seven of the dead migrants reportedly died of the cold, including three women in all, while the eighth was a man who drowned after throwing himself into the sea after the dead infant, whom he thought was still alive. (ANSA).
