One of two men who were swept downstream from a campsite a day earlier was found dead Monday in the Oze River in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture, police said. The man, believed to be Kenichi Kawamura, an 18-year-old college student from Hiroshima, was found around 8:15 a.m. about 200 meters downstream in cardiopulmonary arrest and was confirmed dead at hospital, police and firefighters said.
Police continued to search for Keisuke Inoue, a 24-year-old company employee also from Hiroshima who remains missing after a failed attempt to rescue Kawamura, they said.
