The body of a presumed missing person was found Thursday on one of the first boats that caught fire in an accident that occurred off the coast of Jeju Island last week.
The accident, which took place last Thursday, involved three fishing boats that caught fire while docked at the island's Hallim Port. Three people were rescued from the sea while two were reported missing.
The Coast Guard had retrieved another body believed to be of one of the missing crew on Tuesday. The identity of the body has not yet been determined.
