A 22-year-old cadet crew of a boat who suffered serious injuries at the Nabouwalu Jetty last Wednesday passed away yesterday morning at the Labasa Hospital.
Police spokesperson Ana Naisoro says they are investigating the horrific incident where it is alleged that the 22-year-old was caught between the boat ropes.
The incident took place when the boat was docking at the Nabouwalu Jetty on the 26th of July at around 11am.
Naisoro confirms that the 22-year-old was rushed to the Nabouwalu Health Centre before they transferred him to the Labasa Hospital.
