LILLE, France: A migrant died on Sunday in an attempt to cross the Channel to Britain, a death that comes on top of two deadly boat sinkings in the past 10 days, French officials said.
The man, an Indian citizen, had set off from the beach of Tardinghen in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France.
“The vessel, which was in very poor condition, deflated immediately after leaving the beach” at around 5:30 am (0430 GMT) the local prefecture said in a statement. Not all the passengers had life jackets, but most on board were able to swim back to shore. One man “of Indian nationality, around 40 years old, was in cardio-respiratory arrest” and could not be revived by emergency services, the prefecture added.
