TOKYO -- A boat suspected of being from North Korea with several bodies was found on a small island in northern Japan, the Japanese Coast Guard said Sunday.
Found on the boats were three bodies with heads, two heads without bodies and two bodies without heads. It's officially counted as seven bodies because it is unclear whether the bodies and heads came from the same people, the official said. The five bodies for which gender could be confirmed were all male, he said.
The area where the boat was found faces North Korea and is the region where such boats, dubbed "ghost ships" by the Japanese media, have been found in recent years, numbering about a hundred each year.
