On June 8, two Ukrainian seafarers were found dead on a Malta flagged vessel, which was undergoing repair works in a private dockyard, in İstanbul.
The half-naked bodies of Oleksiy Voytsov, 34, and Sergi Kravchenko, 33, were found in their rooms after they missed their shift, according to a written statement released by the Desan shipyard.
The two bodies were taken to the Kartal Teaching and Research Hospital for autopsy.
Muhsin Divan, the CEO of the private dockyard where the incident took place, told the media that the police have been investigating the deaths, adding that there was no repairing going on in that part of the ship and that there was no working at nights in the dockyard. According to Divan, the incident seems to have stemmed from a personal matter rather than work-related.
