The body of a woman was found in the sea in front of the “Le Roccette” beach in Tropea, in the Vibo area. The body was spotted by students from an institute in the area. Police, Carabinieri, 118 health workers and Coast Guard personnel intervened on site. The body is still to be recovered. Three other bodies – the last one this morning – were washed ashore on the Tyrrhenian coast near Cosenza.
The most probable hypothesis regarding the discovery of three corpses in ten days along the coasts of the Tyrrhenian Sea in Cosenza is that they are migrants who fell into the sea from some boat, perhaps shipwrecked without anyone knowing about it, and were then washed ashore by the strong seas of recent days. This is the hypothesis on which the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Paola is working, according to what was reported by the head of the office Domenico Fiordalisi. “At the moment – said the magistrate – we have no elements to link the findings of the three bodies to a particular shipwreck and in this case, I could not disclose details in this regard”.
In the last 10 days, along the Cosenza Tyrrhenian Sea, 3 discoveries have occurred: the first in Scalea, last February 8, in Amantea, four days later, and in Paola, this morning. Also today, the body of a woman was spotted in the sea in front of the “Le Roccette” beach in Tropea, in the Vibo area. The Paola prosecutor’s office has ordered an autopsy on the bodies found on the beaches of the Cosenza Tyrrhenian Sea. The cause of the deaths and any signs of violence on the bodies are being investigated. Furthermore, investigations are being carried out to try to trace the identity of the deceased.
