A deceased person has been found in the tugboat that sank off Piteå at the beginning of June, reports NSD.

Who saw it first I do not know, it does not matter to me. The police salvaged the body, says environmental prosecutor Christer B Jarlås to the newspaper.

Four people were on board the boat. Three of them managed to get up on a log raft, but the fourth person was missing.

The body is not identified and relatives are not notified, writes NSD.

The incident is being investigated according to the newspaper as a work environment crime, but according to prosecutor Christer B Jarlås there is no concrete suspicion.

The Accident Investigation Authority is investigating the incident.
