A coast guard spokesperson said the body of a man and a woman were taken from the Aegean Sea while 20 men and two women were taken to Samos and put in police custody. The spokesperson said winds of up to 60 kilometers (37.5 miles) per hour were blowing when the boat capsized. Samos, which is near the western Turkish coast, is frequently used as a staging post for migrants seeking to enter the European Union. But there are many accidents. Two children and two women died when one boat sank off the island of Kos last Wednesday. Three people died off the coast of Samos in September.
