Munambam boat accident: Body of fisherman found

The body of the last remaining four fishermen who had gone missing after their fibre boat capsized some 10 nautical miles off the Munambam coast was recovered on Monday.

Bodies of three others were recovered earlier. The body of Thachedath Raju, 58, aka Yesudas, a resident of Alappuzha, was the one to be recovered last. While the body was brought ashore by the rescue boat of the Fisheries department, it was first spotted by the Indian Coast Guard around 20 nautical miles off Munambam.

The body was then taken to the Vypeen fisheries station where the Azheekode coastal police conducted inquest proceedings. The body was handed over to the kin after an autopsy at the Ernakulam General Hospital.

The carrier boat Nanma had capsized on Thursday evening. Out of the seven occupants of the boat, three were rescued by another fishing boat on the same night.
