Crew Member Found Dead After Falling Overboard in Bay of Bothnia

The person, who was found by the police's divers, is from a non-European country.

We are trying to clarify what happened, the circumstances of the accident. A crime scene investigation will be conducted on the vessel and interviews will be held, says Märta Warg, prosecutor at the national unit for environmental and work environment cases, to the radio channel.

A rescue operation was underway for two hours after the accident but was interrupted because it was deemed that the person could no longer be found alive in the cold water.
