The "Wilson Mersin" had entered the port of Antwerp on Dec 23, 2010, and moored at quay 203. The captain informed the authorities about the initially unexplained death. But one day later a second sailor suddenly fell ill. The maritime police immediately launched an investigation and found out the sailors were intoxicated by the gas.
