(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 10 - A 20-day-old baby boy was found dead
on a migrant boat by Italian coast guard officers overnight
after they came to the rescue of the vessel in waters near the
island of Lampedusa.
The child, who was travelling with his 19-year-old mother from
Ivory Coast, suffered respiratory problems and the family were
trying to get to Italy for him to have treatment.
A doctor examined the corpse, found no signs of violence and
concluded that the death was probably caused by hypothermia
combined with the fragile condition of the baby, sources said.
