migrants from Mali and Mauritania are said to be among those found dead on a boat full of corpses off Brazil. Police said Monday that other nationalities could have been among the dead. Fishermen off Brazil's northern coastal state of Pará discovered the boat adrift in the Atlantic Ocean on Saturday. The Brazilian Federal Police have retrieved nine bodies in all. The federal police in Brazil said that they are currently still working to identify the remains of yeh deceased individuals and determine the cause of their death, which is difficult given the advanced condition of decomposition in which they were found.
