The death toll in the February 26
migrant boat shipwreck rose to 93 on Monday following the
recovery of the body of a man thought to be aged between 20 and
25.
The body was recovered by the Italian coast guard around 60
miles from the Italian coast after being spotted by a US
aircraft carrier.
80 refugees and migrants survived the shipwreck, which happened
when a migrant boat carrying approximately 180 people broke up
in heavy seas in a rock shoal not far from the beach at Steccato
di Cutro in Italy's southern Calabria region.
