"At this moment, there is no connection between the death of the sailor, which we are still investigating, and the large seizure of drugs," said the acting chief prosecutor Francesco Pinto.

It is currently suspected that the sailor, a citizen of Serbia who was about 50 years old, committed suicide.

Italian media report that a colleague found him alive with a razor in his hand and raised the alarm. He allegedly threw a razor out of the Serbian citizen's hand, which has not yet been found.

The Serbian allegedly also left a note to his wife before dying, written in his own blood on the ship's bulkhead.

An autopsy has been ordered while the investigation into the death continues.

Deputy Prosecutor Eugenia Menichetti inspected the ship this morning, and all 20 crew members will be questioned in the coming days, including the caption, the only Italian citizen on board.
