Another body was found in the search for missing crew members after a fishing boat sank off Jeju Island last week. 

According to the Jeju branch of the Korea Coast Guard on Monday, the body was found close to the sunken boat around 4 p.m. Sunday during an underwater search using a remotely operated robot. 

The body was retrieved Sunday evening and identified as that of a South Korean crew member in his 60s. 

The 129-ton vessel, the Geumseong, sank off the southern island early Friday morning carrying 27 crew members.

With the retrieval of two bodies over the weekend, the number of deaths now stands at four, while ten people remain missing.
