Possible. If so he was likely thrown overboard by the Muslims on the boat.

From the article: "The rescue worker said the toddler from the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobane."

There hasn't been a Christian living in Kurdish areas of Turkey or Syria since the Ottoman (Islamic) Caliphate used them as auxiliaries in the Genocide against the Christian Armenians.

And generally, as the incident of Muslim "refugees" throwing Christians overboard on their way to Italy shows... Muslim "refugees" and smugglers do not allow Christian refugees to flee in this flood of invading Muslims swarming into the Europe of receding Christianity.
