Unclaimed items that belonged to migrants who died during their journey to Europe are displayed in the homicide squad in the police department in Palermo, Italy November 4, 2015. Sandy and grimy, the watches, cell phones, family photos, $100 bills, and passports from Syria, Pakistan and Sudan are the tattered possessions of migrants who died at sea. Italian homicide police removed the items from the corpses of about 90 men, women and infants who perished aboard three different boats this summer. They preserved the personal effects - a beaded necklace, a Koran, a wedding picture, an Istanbul bus pass - as potential evidence to use in court against their smugglers, and in a bid to identify the corpses.
