The man found dead in GA Maamendhoo’s lagoon on Saturday had died from a seizure.
Mohamed Zaeem, the island council president, said this was confirmed by doctors.
Mohamed Nashid was found on Saturday morning. The council cited doctors saying that the wounds on his neck were likely caused by rocks. His body has since been buried.
Nashid, a 38-year-old fisherman, was last seen alive on Friday night.
