SEOUL: Searchers Thursday found the body of one of five people who were travelling on a South Korean coastguard helicopter that crashed off the south coast Wednesday night. The body of female officer Lee Yu Jin was found in the sea off Jeju island, a coastguard spokesman said.
Several parts of the helicopter were found nearby and a search for four missing officers is still underway, he said. The AW-139 helicopter had been heading to a hospital after picking up Lee, 28, from a coastguard ship for treatment for a fever. The helicopter, made by Italian firm AgustaWestland, was first deployed last Friday.
