Three Chinese citizens died after jumping into the sea from a fishing boat in the Strait of Magellan in an apparent attempt to reach the Chilean coast and seek asylum.<\/p>\n

A fourth member of the boat’s crew is still missing.<\/p>\n

The incident was confirmed by Chilean navy Lt. Cmdr. Milidrag Delic, who said they were able to recover the bodies of three men from the Hong-Da 2, currently anchored near the strait.<\/p>\n

Delci said he was notified around 8:00 a.m. Sunday morning when officers of the Hong-Da 2 said that the four men were no longer on board and some survival equipment such as life jackets were missing.<\/p>\n

They concluded that the Chinese fishermen had jumped in the sea in order to swim to the Chilean coast.<\/p>\n

“That morning the dead bodies of three crew members were found. A fourth crew member is still missing, so the search continues,” Delic said.<\/p>\n

Radio Bio Bio, which identified the crew members as Wang Hao, Yin Xingqi, Yang Cunbao and Sun Changman, said that the water’s freezing temperature was a key factor in their deaths.<\/p>\n
