An infant was found dead upon arriving to a Greek island on a boat carrying 34 other migrants, authorities announced Saturday.
The coast guard said in a statement that a patrol vessel found the boat early Friday on a rocky shore near the town of Plomari on the island of Lesbos, close to the Turkish coast.
An ambulance arrived on the scene soon after, but a doctor merely confirmed the infant’s death.
Authorities were investigating, and an autopsy was pending. The coast guard did not say where the migrants were from.
Migrants make boat voyages year-round from Turkey to Greece and even as far as Italy.
