Euronews says The bodies of seven suspected migrants have been found on the shore of the Greek island of Lesbos, the coastguard has said.
Authorities said the remains of three men and three women were found early on Tuesday morning near the island’s main town of Mytilene.
“Four bodies were discovered” by a passer-by on the beach of Ano Skala, the coastguard said, while “two others were recovered from the water”.
A seventh suspected victim was found on Wednesday, less than a kilometre from the town’s port.
Officials believe that the people were migrants who died while trying to reach the Greek island from the nearby Turkish coast. None of the six victims had been wearing life jackets, they added.
