Drowning Migrants

I saw this NPR article this morning about migrants drowning when their boats sing on the way to Europe. While our character died by putting himself into the belly of the Atlantic, or being plumped to its ground as in the case of the baby, some of these migrants are on the way to Europe when they die in the water. The image of the boy walking on the rocks is similar to the image my mind's eye has of Moussa on the beach before he submits himself (though I do not imagine him to be as modern or active).
