2 out of 3 missing bodies found in chopper wreckage

Two of three bodies that were missing after a helicopter crashed in South Korea’s southwestern waters last week have been found, while the last remains unaccounted for, authorities said Friday.
  

Last week, a Coast Guard helicopter crashed in waters off Gageo Island, leaving one dead and three missing. The four had been on a mission to transport an emergency patient to an inland hospital.
  

The bodies, identified as the pilot and co-pilot of the aircraft, were found inside the fuselage discovered about 1 kilometer from the accident site a day earlier. But the person still missing, a 29-year-old police officer, was nowhere to be found.
  

The Coast Guard said it is going to continue its search for the missing person. (Yonhap)
