The coffins held the bodies of migrants who died in the shipwreck — brown ones for adults and white ones for children.
Coffins containing people who died in a migrant shipwreck, lie in state at Palasport in Crotone, Italy, February 28, 2023 Wailing and other expressions of grief echoed through a sports complex in southern Italy as public viewing began Wednesday of the closed coffins holding the bodies of dozens of migrantsMeanwhile, the search by air and sea to spot any of the many believed still to be missing continued for a fourth day.
Fewer than half of the coffins bore a name — the others were identified by numbers indicating the order in which rescuers found the bodies, pending eventual official identification. When the relatives heard about the shipwreck, many drove from Germany, northern Italy and other European points down to Cutro, the beach town where many of the corpses washed up and some of the survivors came ashore.
The statement said that on Saturday evening a surveillance aircraft operated by Frontex, the European border and coast guard agency, spotted a boat in the Ionian Sea that appeared to be navigating "regularly" and exhibiting "good conditions of buoyancy" with only one person visible on deck.
