The body of a 17-year-old male was found Tuesday morning as the search resumed for people missing in the aftermath of the weekend's devastating mudslides.
Involved in the search were some 450 police officers, firefighters and Ground Self-Defense Force members.
The rescuers identified the body pulled from the Minamata River as that of Yusuke Hayashida, who had been missing since mudslides struck Minamata, Kumamoto Prefecture, on Sunday.
