15 fisherman die in Indonesia, alcohol suspected

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Authorities say 15 fisherman have died of suspected alcohol poisoning in Indonesia's eastern Papua province.

Hospital official Kasim said Monday that the dead men were among more than 90 people sickened after drinking alcohol in the port town of Merauke on Sunday night. He says all but one of the dead men were from Thailand.

Port authorities confirm the incident, saying police were investigating what caused so many people to fall sick.

They say several Thai fishing boats were anchored at the Merauke port over the weekend.
