New body found after deadly Channel crossing

LILLE, France: A man´s body was recovered from the Channel near northern French port city Calais on Monday, prosecutors said, the day after three migrants were killed attempting to reach Britain.

“The victim is a black man aged around 30, yet to be identified at this stage,” said Patrick Leleu, deputy prosecutor in Boulogne-sur-Mer. He added that a passer-by had spotted the body in a “good state of preservation” in the water from the beach at Sangatte, just west of Calais, meaning that “the question of a link to this weekend´s successful crossing arises”.
