Diver dies in S. Korea ferry search

A civilian diver searching for bodies in the South Korean ferry that sank last month has died, authorities say. Officials said the 53-year-old, known only by his surname Lee, became unconscious and later died in hospital. He is the first fatality among divers searching the Sewol ferry, which sank on 16 April with 476 people on board. Only 174 people survived, with many trapped inside the vessel. So far the disaster has claimed 262 lives, with 40 others missing.
