WINDHOEK - A 46-year-old man who was the captain and owner of a fishing vessel fell from the top deck into the hole of the fishing vessel on Sunday. The deceased, identified as Perez Jesus, a Spanish national, shattered his skull in the fall and died instantly. 

The incident happened between 01h30 and 14h00.  
The police report stated that Jesus was on the vessel with four other colleagues while it was anchored at Freddie Fishing’s Jetty.

The wife apparently called on the vessel phone and informed the colleagues to find out what happened to the deceased whereby they discovered his body and notified the police and medical personnel,” said the report. No foul play is suspected and his next of kin were informed, police say.
