The 31-year-old was spotted in the waters off the municipality of Cetara by a pleasure boat, which promptly alerted the authorities.

During the investigation, Doctors Without Borders personnel aboard the NGO vessel confirmed that the Tunisian was one of the passengers on board until the hours immediately before disembarkation.
