Seven Dead After South Korean Tanker Capsizes

TOKYO (AP) — Seven people have been pronounced dead after a South Korean tanker ship capsized off an island in southwestern Japan, the coast guard said Wednesday afternoon, out of nine crew members found so far. Authorities confirmed that one member of the crew was alive, and described another’s condition as unknown. Earlier, authorities said all nine were in “unknown condition.” The coast guard is still searching for two more people who were on the chemical tanker, which flipped over after reporting trouble in a rough sea.
