Family of fishing companion who died while adrift with
castaway demands answers
The fisherman who claims he survived for 13 months in the Pacific should return to Mexico to
explain the death of a man who accompanied him, the victim's family said.?
Jose Salvador Alvarenga said that the young man who accompanied him was a teenager who starved
to death because he would vomit the raw fish and birds they ate.?
According to AFP, the family of the victim, identified as Ezequiel, said they could not believe that he
refused to eat.?
"We want him to come here, for the government to bring him here," Ezequiel's brother, Romeo
Cordoba Rios told the news service.?
The family does not want a criminal probe against Alvarenga.?
"It was a work accident," Cordoba Rios said. "The only thing we want is to know what was the last
thing that he told this man and what he did with my brother's body."?
The family told AFP that Ezequiel did not really know Alvarenga and decided at the. Make positive

Alavarenga said Ezequiel died four months into the journey and that he pushed the body off the boat.
Some experts are challenging Alvarenga's claim that he miraculously survived 13 months at sea by
reports on fishing eating fish, birds and turtles before washing ashore on the remote Marshall
Islands 6,500 miles from Mexico.
"I may have some
doubts," said Gee Bing,
acting secretary of
foreign affairs for the
Marshall Islands,
where Alvarenga
washed ashore. He
noted that Alvarenga
looked thin when he
was found, but he could
walk on his own and
was not as emaciated
as might be expected
considering how little
he had to eat or drink.
Bing said island
officials are
investigating
Alvarenga's story. The
Telegraph reported
that nobody reported
him missing

back home in Mexico,
but investigators said
the algae growth on the side of the boat indicates it had been in the water for some time.
Officials were reacting cautiously to the Spanish-speaking man's story while they try to piece
together more information.
Mexico's Foreign Relations fishing reports Department says the man told Mexico?s ambassador to
the Philippines, Julio Camarena, that he set out from an area near the coastal town of Tonala in
southern Chiapas state, which would mean his journey covered a distance of more than 6,500 miles,
if he drifted in a straight line.
Ambassador Tom Armbruster in Majuro said the soft-spoken man complained of joint pain Monday
and had a limp but was able to walk. He had long hair and a beard, the ambassador said, and rather
than appearing emaciated he looked puffy in places, including around his ankles. Barbecues
