By Juan Medina ON BOARD OPEN ARMS, Mediterranean (Reuters) - A woman and a boy adrift in the Mediterranean died just hours before help reached their damaged dinghy, Spanish rescuers said on Tuesday after finding a second woman alive in the vessel, which had been carrying migrants towards Europe. A rescue boat operated by Spanish charity Proactiva Open Arms, with a Reuters witness aboard, went to help the three migrants, stranded about 80 nautical miles off Libya's coast, but found two already dead. Proactiva Open Arms said the three were left helpless after being abandoned by Libyan coast guards.
