The body of another passenger missing from a capsized fishing boat was recovered in the waters off South Korea's southern coast near the site of the accident, raising the death toll to 14, Coast Guard officials said Friday.
The body, which was found 7 kilometers southeast of Chuja Island at around 6 p.m. on Wednesday, was identified as that of a 47-year-old man surnamed Lee, according to the Korea Coast Guard.
The island is located about halfway between the mainland and the southern resort island of Jeju.
The body was transferred to a hospital on Jeju Island, where the man's identity was confirmed.
The 9.77-ton Dolphin capsized on Sept. 5 in the waters north of Jeju. Three people were rescued by another fishing boat on the next day. Four others are still missing. (Yonhap)
