The body of the Navy sailor who went missing following the capsizing of a Navy boat at the Galle Face on Saturday during the victory day parade was found from Bambalapitiya this morning.

Four navy personnel had fallen off a small Sri Lanka Navy vessel which had been involved in an accident during the Victory day Parade but three sailors were rescued yesterday at sea.

Very unfortunate. my condolences. We can see from the faces of the soldiers that they are not happy but compelled to be under sun. via DM Android App

IS IT TOO LATE TO ASK WHETHER LIFE JACKETS ARE NOT WORN AS PART OF THE UNIFORM OF THE NAVY DUE TO VIP CEREMONIES?

Health & safety is unheard of in the motherland/fatherland. You just step over the dead and carry on....

Navy probably abandoned the search quickly to concentrate on king's celebration. What sort of empty leaders are these goons?

During the war soldiers died to save the country, now they have to die in the evens organise to boost MR's political popularity. This events cost money of innocent taxpayers too.

A precious life of a veteran soldier is gone without a bullet being shot at. Looking for any contribution to be paid as compensation from already poor citizens?

We were under the impression all navy sailors knows to swim. And very ironic that beside a huge number of vessels presence none of them succeeded in saving a life of a sailor!!
