17-year-old illegal migrant drowns in a Bosnian river; citizens aid in burials, DNA testing, and repatriation. Bosnian volunteers help migrants who drown in the Drina river between Bosnia and Serbia, as many attempt to reach wealthier nations. The volunteers arrange burials for unclaimed bodies, take bone samples for future DNA testing to confirm identities, and assist with repatriation or funerals.
