Also in the group are 11 women and 8 minors, originally from the Ivory Coast, Guinea, Cameroon and Nigeria.
The migrants reported that they left Sfax, Tunisia, at 8pm last Friday.
The body belongs to a Nigerian.
He would have died because, in the waters off Sfax, he was in the water to push the small boat out to sea.

Hypothermia may have killed him.
