New details are emerging in the death of a Kazakh student whose body was discovered off the coast of Briatico, Italy. The young man's remains were found among coastal rocks, with initial assessments suggesting death occurred around 15 hours prior to discovery.

Investigators noted injuries consistent with impacts against rocks, and drowning is considered the preliminary cause of death. However, final conclusions await further examinations. The student's identity is yet to be confirmed, though a mobile phone and personal belongings were found on nearby rocks.

The deceased was a Caucasian-looking man aged between 20 and 30, whose identity has not yet been established. His long hair misled the rescuers who first saw him in the sea and initially assumed it was a woman.
