The Italian Coast Guard on Friday released underwater images of a migrant boat that sank near the island of Lampedusa on June 30.

The packed, 8-metre (25-foot) boat capsized just as coast guard rescue crews were arriving, and seven bodies were soon pulled from the sea, while 46 people were rescued.
