Child’s body found in north:
Rescuers searching since a tour boat carrying 26 people apparently sank off far northeastern Japan have found the body of an 11th victim - a child - as questions intensify about why the vessel sailed in rough weather at a known hazardous location.
The child was found late Sunday and later confirmed dead, the Coast Guard said Monday. The bodies of 10 victims - seven men and three women - were found earlier Sunday. The Kazu 1 with two crew was taking 24 passengers, including two children, on a scenic tour at Shiretoko National Park on the northern side of Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost main island, when it sent a distress call Saturday afternoon saying it was sinking.
