Eleven Malaysians, were found by fishermen in waters off Sulawesi on Sunday.
It was reported the speedboat they were taking ran out of fuel and caused them to be stranded out at sea. Three men died before being discovered by Tolitolu fisherman.
M. Ilham, the secretary of North Dampal subdistrict, said the Malaysians had received medical treatment at the Ogotua Public Health Center in North Dampal, Tolitoli.
“We will probably bury those who have died here [in North Dampal], too,” Ilham said.
He added they had departed from Lahar Batu, Malaysia, 8 days ago and were heading to the Philippines.
“The speedboat was overcapacity. There should only have been six people onboard,” he said.
