Unfortunately, there is suspicion that one of the fishermen lost his life due to drowning.

The three fishermen, who endured a traumatic ordeal, were received by Kenya Red Cross officers in Mombasa. They received essential first aid and counseling before being transported to the hospital, where they will undergo further treatment and monitoring before being reunited with their families.

Cabinet Secretary Mvurya appealed to the media to allow the three individuals time to recover and come to terms with the harrowing experience before subjecting them to media interviews.
