BUSAN, Sept. 9 (Yonhap) -- The body of a crew member who went missing after a tugboat capsized last week was found Wednesday, the Coast Guard said.

Authorities discovered the crew member's body on a beach in the southeastern city of Pohang on Wednesday morning, according to the Coast Guard.

The tugboat TNS Catcher, carrying eight crew members, capsized last Wednesday in waters off Busan on the southern coast.

The person was among the six crew members who went missing in the incident, which also left one person dead. Only one person was safely rescued.
