Submarine with 2 bodies, 3 tons of cocaine seized in the Pacific Ocean off Colombia

Two survivors "in poor health" were also found on the vessel and given first aid

Newsroom March 14 11:02

A submarine with two dead bodies and nearly three tons of cocaine aboard was seized in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Colombia, the country’s navy announced Sunday. Two survivors “in poor health” were also found on the vessel and given first aid.

“These people’s poor health state is presumably due to the inhalation of toxic fumes caused by fuel problems inside the boat,” Captain Cristian Andres Guzman Echeverry said in a video released by the navy.
