The captain of a ferry that capsized off the coast of Guyana, leaving at least 27 people dead and 83 others missing, tested positive for marijuana following the disaster, according to Public Works Minister Juan Edghill.
The revelation came as search and recovery operations continued on Tuesday after the MV Barima sank during a late-night voyage on Saturday between Georgetown and Port Kaituma. The probe also found that authorities initially believed the vessel was carrying 133 people.
