A team of South Korean forensic experts is seeking to confirm whether an unidentified body that was found following the February 22nd earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, belongs to a South Korean.

The South Korean Embassy in New Zealand on Monday said that the team is checking to see if the body that is currently at a morgue where 166 bodies of quake victims are being held is indeed that of Yoo Na-on.

Meanwhile, a funeral service for Yoo’s brother was held the previous day in Christchurch. The two siblings were initially reported missing, but his body was found buried under a crumbled building. His sister is still unaccounted for.
