A decomposed body, believed to be Mexican or Colombian, has been found in a washed up boat on a remote Pacific island, officials said Wednesday, raising the possibility it had drifted 9,400 kilometres (5,800 miles) from Latin America.
The remains were in a six-metre (20 feet), blue fibreglass vessel with a 150 horsepower engine that was found on Likiep Atoll in the Marshall Islands.
