    “However, Agnieszka Zembrzycka, a Stena Line spokesperson, told Polish media on Friday that the CCTV footage from the ship did not match this version of events.”

    As in CCTV footage doesn’t show a kid accidentally falling in followed by a mother.

    Further it was noted by first responders that the woman was unresponsive. No mention on the status of the boy other then both were flown to a hospital. Meaning the boy was either already dead, or was responsive.

    My guess is from the context a murder investigation is highly warranted, and the CCTV footage will provide valuable information.
