Second crew member found after livestock ship sinks off Japan

Japanese rescuers have found a second crew member and multiple dead cows in the water where a livestock ship is believed to have capsized and sank during stormy weather two days earlier.

The man, who was later pronounced dead, was found unconscious and floating face down about 75 miles north-west of Amami Oshima in the East China Sea. A total of 41 crew members are still missing after another man was rescued on Wednesday.
