The Fukui Coast Guard Station announced on Tuesday that they have discovered and recovered the body of a woman in the Sea of Japan, approximately 40 kilometers off the coast of Sakai, Fukui Prefecture. The body was found wearing clothing with the name “Kiso” written on it, leading authorities to believe that it may be Hanon Kiso, a 14-year-old junior high school student from Wajima, Ishikawa Prefecture who has been missing since heavy rains struck the northern part of the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture. The coast guard is currently collaborating with Ishikawa prefectural authorities to confirm her identity.
According to reports from the coast guard, a fisherman discovered the body at around 4:15 p.m. on Monday. The body was approximately 1 meter and 50 centimeters tall and was dressed in a blackish jersey bottom and sweatshirt. At this time, details regarding her age, cause of death, and time of death remain unknown.
This tragic discovery highlights the ongoing efforts by authorities to locate individuals who went missing during severe weather conditions. As investigations continue into this case, further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
