Fourth Body Recovered Following Fatal Migrant Boat Attempt in the English Channel

A man's body was found near Sangatte a day after three migrants died during a dangerous Channel crossing attempt, raising the year's death toll to 76.

A Black man, approximately 30 years old, was found dead near Sangatte Beach in northern France on Monday, though his identity remains unknown.
The discovery follows Sunday's tragic incident where three male migrants drowned attempting to cross the English Channel in an overloaded inflatable boat.
The vessel, carrying 65 passengers, departed early Sunday morning, leaving around 40 individuals in the water after a chaotic scramble to board.
French authorities reported that 76 migrants have died attempting Channel crossings in 2024, highlighting the ongoing dangers of these journeys.
Investigations continue into the circumstances of the fourth death and its potential connection to Sunday’s crossing attempt.
