A migrant from Africa has drowned in Venice's Grand Canal as tourists and locals filmed the apparent suicide on their phones, APA reports quoting Daily Mail.
The young migrant, named as Pateh Sabally, a 22-year-old Gambian, was seen jumping into the water from a pier and swimming to the middle of the large canal.
Hundreds of people witnessed the leap and at least three life rings were thrown into the water near the man, but he refused to hold on to them, raising speculation he wanted to commit suicide. No-one jumped in to help him.
