Boat with 20 dead, floats to Grand Turk Island

A mile off Grand Turk island a boat with 20 dead people aboard including two children was found, authorities announced on Sunday. When it came to the sight of local fishermen, they immediately informed them about it to police. Although according to Takara Bain, a communications officer with the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force, the possibility of foul play has been ruled out but the investigation to determine the cause is on.

The small boat appears to have arrived from outside the Caribbean, according to Police Commissioner Trevor Botting. He also added that the final destination of the boat did not appear to be Grand Turk.
