THE body of a South Korean sailor who died on April 10 in a gas leak aboard a Panamanian fishing vessel waiting to dock in Shanghai will be sent home today, the Shanghai Exit-Entry Administration said yesterday.
Kang Sin-Jae, the 59-year-old chief engineer, and Pagtalunan Santos Romeo Jr, a 32-year-old Filipino mechanic, died aboard the Oriental Angel, a Panama-registered fishing vessel, when ammonia leaked into a cabin.
The body of the Filipino sailor will be sent home when negotiation between his family and the ship's owner about compensation has been settled, exit-entry officials said.
The bodies were held up because heavy fog stopped the vessel and hundreds of others coming into port.
A preliminary investigation suggested the leak was caused by aging of the vessel, the administration said.
