A diver who helped recover bodies from a deadly collision between a boat carrying migrants and a Greek coast guard vessel says most of the 15 people who died had suffered severe head injuries, as questions mounted over the circumstances of the incident. With the total number of people on board the small speedboat unclear, a search and rescue operation was still underway Friday for potentially missing people three days after the collision off the coast of the eastern Aegean island of Chios. Apart from the 15 people killed, the impact also injured a further 26, including 11 children and two coast guard officers. The large number of casualties has led to questions over how the collision occurred. Judicial authorities have launched an official inquiry.
