VOICED : Naufrago penso en suicidio

José Salvador Alvarenga, a Salvadoran castaway, survived over 13 months adrift in the Pacific Ocean. He considered suicide but was kept alive by memories of his family and favorite foods. Alvarenga, who set sail from Mexico in December 2012, credits his deep religious faith for helping him endure a 12,500-kilometer journey to an atoll south of the Marshall Islands, where he was rescued. He faced challenges such as disposing of his companion's body, who died four months into the journey, and finding food and water. Alvarenga is currently recovering in a hospital in Majuro, awaiting repatriation.
