Relatives find drowned teenager has cleared board exams

Rameswaram: Twelve days after Calvin Miller's death, his relatives and friends have found that he has passed the class XII board exams, securing 69 per cent.

He scored 832 marks out of a total of 1200, results of which were announced on Tuesday. Nineteen-year-old Calvin drowned when a ship allegedly collided with the boat in which he was fishing along with four others in the sea off the Pamban coast.

The others were rescued by the fishermen of another boat.

Calvin's father said that his son wanted to pursue marine engineering to serve the Indian Navy.

Taking serious note of the incident, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa had directed her Chief Secretary to write to the Coast Guard to conduct a probe.

The Coast Guard has ordered an inquiry, but maintained it was not aware of any of its vessels hitting the boat.
