The body of a youth who had gone missing after falling into the sea while attempting to take a selfie atop a boulder in the Rummassala area in Unawatuna, has been recovered today (Jul 18).
According to the police, the body had been spotted floating in the seas and had been recovered by the Navy. The remains have been sent to the Karapitiya Teaching Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
