The crew member who fell overboard from a British merchant ship in the Bay of Bothnia on Tuesday has been found dead, reports P4 Västerbotten.

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.
