Greek officials have denied a series of reports that suggest a migrant boat capsized 50 miles off the south coast because a rope was attached by coastguards.
So far 78 people are confirmed dead but hundreds more are feared missing, including as many as 100 children.
The coastguard said initially it had kept a "discreet distance".
But a government spokesman now says a rope was used when the coastguard approached the fishing boat.
