Man suffers cardiac arrest on boat trying to reach UK
A man has died after suffering cardiac arrest onboard a boat attempting to reach the UK.
The vessel turned back towards Equihen beach on the French coast yesterday morning. A nurse tried to resuscitate the man but was unsuccessful.
French authorities have now launched an investigation into the circumstances. A spokesperson for Doctors Without Borders, also known as MSF, has criticised authorities on both sides of the Channel.
Jacob Burns said: "Yet again we have a tragedy in the Channel, that is the consequence of the deadly, costly and ineffective security policies implemented by the UK and France." Later on Saturday, a lifeboat carried migrants who have made the voyage into the Port of Dover. Photographs showed them huddled under blankets and orange life jackets on board.
