Nineteen bodies recovered Thursday off Bangladesh in the Bay of Bengal were believed to be Myanmar nationals killed in a boat capsizing before Cyclone Mahasen hit the region, officials said.
The bodies were decomposing when they were found off Teknaf, which lies on the border of Myanmar, indicating they died before the storm hit Bangladesh Thursday, Ruhul Amin, chief district administrator, said by telephone.
Myanmar currency was found on the bodies, Amin said.
Police officer Babul Akhter said the victims were 11 children, five women and three men
