Seychelles News Agency reports that a 33-year-old Estonian man has been found dead in the sea at New Port, Victoria on February 13th.

It’s believed the man, identified locally as Kivi Meelis, was working as an armed guard for a PMSC on board the Julie Delmas, a container ship chartered by CMA-CGM.

According to a police statement issued this afternoon the incident was reported at around 7:00 pm local time on Thursday February 12.

“According to information it was one of his colleagues who were fishing at that time who heard a splash in the sea and saw him floating,” read the statement.
