58-year old Jonathan Gabriel from Anse aux Pins went out fishing with two other fishermen on 16 September but his lifeless body was brought back to port late Thursday night with the assistance of the Seychelles Coast Guard.

"The two fishermen claim that Mr. Gabriel fell off the boat and once they managed to bring him back on board, they noticed he was unresponsive. The incident occurred off the coast of Silhouette Island around 2:30pm on Thursday," said the police spokesperson, Jean Toussaint in a press conference held yesterday afternoon at Police Headquarters in Victoria.

Mr. Toussaint explained that Mr. Gabriel suffered from epilepsy and had been involved in a similar incident a few years ago, when he fell over board after experiencing an epileptic fit. But he was saved in time on that occasion.

However, Mr. Toussaint revealed that the police were only notified about the incident at 12.30am Friday, approximately 10 hours after the incident took place. The police then contacted the Seychelles Coast Guard for assistance.

Mr. Toussaint stated that no arrest has been made so far and that the police were awaiting the results of the post mortem examination to determine the cause of death. Meanwhile, the two fishermen have been questioned whilst the police continue with their investigations into the incident.
